SAP Note 19347 - E812 when creating BOMs via batch input

Symptom:

When you copy BOMs via batch input (report RCSBI010), error message E812 occurs: 'Item category & is not defined (record is ignored)'.

Cause and prerequisites

Structure BICSP, which is used for BOM items, contains a field BICSP-XLINE of type INT4 (internal X). If you now generate the corresponding structure for the external system via the general generation tool, the field corresponding to field BICSP-XLINE is generated incorrectly. As a result, the structures in the external system and the BICSP structure do not match. The item records imported by RCSBI010 are moved.

Solution
In the structure in the external system, you have to insert a dummy field directly before field BICSP-XLINE to compensate the movement.
