How To Fix CM_SUB_API007 - Specification &1 contains too-high composition values for spec. &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CM_SUB_API - API Substance

• Message number: 007

• Message text: Specification &1 contains too-high composition values for spec. &2

What causes this issue?

In the composition hierarchy tree, the specification &V1& contains
values for the direct or indirect component &V2& that are too great.
When searching via components, only values that are less than 99 or
9900% are taken into account because conversion errors may otherwise
occur as a result of the calculations. Upper limits, lower limits, and
average values that are greater than 99 are set internally to 99 and
this value is used to continue calculation.

System Response

You can run the search, but the search result may possibly contain
errors owing to the values that were too great.

How to fix this error?

Remove values greater than 99 by correcting the compositions of the
specifications.
