This blog post is for SD & VC Consultants. This will help you to understand how Special Procurement costing is supported for Configurable Materials in Sales Order Costing.
Symptom

But BOM is not exploded in other plant and we get error message ‘CK 393 – Special procurement type & ignored for configurable materials’ since Special Procurement Stock Transfer for configurable materials is not supported in costing.
