• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS036 - Calculated value &1 &2 too large to store in the composition ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS036 indicates that a calculated value is too large to be stored in the composition. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with chemical product management and composition data.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Data Type Limitations: The value being calculated exceeds the maximum limit defined for the data type in the database. For example, if a numeric field is defined to hold a maximum of 10 digits, and the calculated value exceeds this, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Input Values: If the input values used in the calculation are incorrect or unrealistic, they may lead to an excessively large result.
  Calculation Logic: There may be an issue with the logic used in the calculation, leading to unintended large values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the input values used in the calculation to ensure they are correct and within expected ranges.
  Review Calculation Logic: Examine the calculation logic to ensure it is functioning as intended. Look for any potential errors or misconfigurations in the formulas used.
  Adjust Data Types: If the calculated value legitimately needs to be larger than the current data type can handle, consider adjusting the data type in the database to accommodate larger values. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or development team.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the calculation process and identify where the value is becoming too large.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any known issues or additional guidance.
