Dick,

We are on 6.04 and ran into this same problem. We called and requested BMR 
52251 which is supposed to fix this problem.

We also ran into another problem that you may or may not have... In the 
following example you have....

Parent Item

Component Item

Component of Component Item

If you were to go into the Bill of Material of Component Item and change the 
Component of Component Item to Parent Item, BOM500 will accept this. So your 
problem is probably mult-level. We called and requested BMR 55068 to fix this 
problem

We too noticed that BOM500 halts when adding an item, it is only when you try 
to revise the line in the component detail that BPCS will allow a recursive BOM.

Does anyone know why it is possible in BOM500 to create a looping bill of 
material by changing the item number of an existing component to the parent 
number?

We don't even get a warning message.

(I'm not talking about adding the parent number to a bill - this results in a 
hard error).

We're on BPCS 6.1
