Maintain components for material &1
Help Document

Diagnosis

There are two possible causes for this message:

  • You have not assigned any components to the structure material .
  • You have not assigned an empties BOM to the full product .

System Response

If your system administration has configured the message as a warning, you can save the material without any components. However, you must then enter the components at a later point.

Procedure

Articles without components lead to problems in the subsequent logistics processes (such as goods receipt). This means that you must assign components to the material before you list it. In integrated article maintenance, you cannot list a structured material without components.

However, if you use external listing programs, the system does not check whether any components or an empties BOM exists. This means that an inconsistently maintained material could become a part of the logistics processes.

Procedure for System Administration

You maintain the message category in the following Customizing activity: Define Attributes of System Messages.
