Recursive Loop Error while doing standard cost estimate

[Former Member]

SAP Gurus,

We are trying to do standard cost estimate on a material and we are getting error because it is going in recursive loop even though we have used "recursive allowed" indicator for item components in the BOM. The error message numbers are CK 730 and CK 740. We are using 4.6c. I have tried the same scenario in ECC 6.0 and still I get the same problem.

Below is my BOM structure:

Material 10890345 (has low-level code 012)

---> 10867220 (has low-level code 013) and has recursive allowed indicator

10867220

---> 10846733 (has low-level code 014) and has recursive allowed indicator

10846733

---> 10890345 (has low-level code 012) and has recursive allowed indicator

According to me, the BOM for material 10846733 is causing the problem.

For some weird reason while doing the costing run for material 10890345, it s not stopping and going in a loop.10890345 and 10846733 should ideally have the same low-level code as they are recursive.

Please help to provide some solutions at the earliest on how to avoid recursive loop during costing.

Dear,

This recuursiveness is found in the later stage during explosion. Hence please first check in CS11 and check where exactly the recurrsiveness tick is not tocked.

Rajesh,

I have set the "recursive allowed" indicator on all the BOM item components in all the BOMs.

A colleague of mine has pointed out that "Setting the recusiveness allowed flag allows you to save the BOM but you can still never use is for costing because it will always go into a loop."

Is the above correct?? So will there be never a convergence for the costing run in recursive BOM?? Please help us on this as we need to complete the standard cost estimate run before the month end.

Dear,

We have 7 level of BOM with recursiveness.what is the lot size you are enetering?
