  The SAP error message EFORMULA062 indicates that a variable (denoted as &1) is still being used in a formula allocation (denoted as &2) even though it has been marked for deletion or is no longer valid.

  Cause:

  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or configuration, leading to references to outdated or deleted variables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Formula Allocations: Review the formula allocations in which the variable is used. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or configuration area in SAP where formula allocations are defined.
  Remove References: If the variable is no longer needed, remove all references to it in the formula allocations. This may involve editing the formulas to eliminate the variable.
  Revalidate the Variable: If the variable is still needed, ensure that it is correctly defined and not marked for deletion. You may need to restore it if it was inadvertently marked for deletion.
  Test Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the formula allocations to ensure that they work correctly without the variable or with the updated variable.
  Documentation: Document any changes made for future reference and to maintain clarity in the configuration.
  
  Related Information:
