  The SAP error message WRF_REF007 indicates that a material (identified by &1) will be exploded during the logistics process for a specific plant (identified by &2). This typically relates to the handling of materials that are part of a bill of materials (BOM) or a production process where components are required to be exploded for planning or execution purposes.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Configuration: The material in question is part of a BOM, and the system is set to explode the BOM during the planning or production process.
  Material Master Settings: The material may have specific settings in the material master that dictate how it should be handled in logistics processes.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may require it to be exploded for production or procurement purposes.
  Missing Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the BOM or material master that is causing the system to flag this message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM: Verify that the BOM for the material is correctly configured and that all components are defined properly.
  Material Master Review: Review the material master data for the material in question to ensure that all relevant fields are filled out correctly, especially those related to production and planning.
  Planning Strategy: Check the planning strategy assigned to the material. If it is not appropriate for the intended logistics process, consider changing it.
  Logistics Execution: Ensure that the logistics execution process is set up correctly to handle the explosion of the material. This may involve configuration in the relevant modules (e.g., Production Planning, Materials Management).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the error message and its implications.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM), MM03 (Display Material), or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to investigate the material and its BOM.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
  User Exits/Enhancements: If the explosion behavior is not desired, consider whether any user exits or enhancements are in place that may be affecting the standard behavior.
