• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK016 - Enter basic material/surface &1 as mass/mass fraction in composition &2 ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK016 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with product safety and compliance management. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way a basic material or surface is defined in terms of its mass/mass fraction in a specific composition.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A basic material or surface is not correctly defined in the composition data.
  The mass/mass fraction for the specified basic material or surface is missing or incorrectly entered.
  The system expects a specific format or value that is not being met.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Composition Data:
  
  Navigate to the relevant material or product in the SAP system.
  Review the composition data for the material in question (composition &2).
  Ensure that the basic material or surface (&1) is correctly defined and that its mass/mass fraction is specified.
  
  
  
  Enter Correct Values:
  
  If the mass/mass fraction is missing, enter the correct value. Ensure that the value is in the expected format (e.g., percentage).
  If the value is incorrect, update it to reflect the accurate mass/mass fraction.
  
  
  
  Validate Basic Material:
  
  Ensure that the basic material or surface you are trying to enter is valid and exists in the system.
  Check if there are any restrictions or specific requirements for the basic material in the context of the composition.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines related to the EHS module for any specific requirements regarding mass/mass fractions and compositions.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the data and test to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Seek Help:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP EHS expert for further assistance.
