SAP Note 47732 - Material is still used in bill of material

Summary :
Symptom: Material master changes such as altering the base unit of measure, material type, or deleting material lead to issues due to their use in bills of materials (BOMs). Utilizing transaction SARA to archive material data results in a dump when trying to delete materials; and the BOM where-used-list execution fails with a 'TABLE_INVALID_INDEX' error. The prime culprits include orphaned data in STPO and STAS tables where entries relevant to material master operations persist.
