How To Fix EHPRC_CPM_IMDS046 - Reduce portion range for pure substance &2 in basic material &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EHPRC_CPM_IMDS - Messages for Checks

• Message number: 046

• Message text: Reduce portion range for pure substance &2 in basic material &1

What causes this issue?

Pure substance &v2& in the composition of basic or surface material &v1&
has exceeded the maximum portion range that is defined in IMDS
recommendation 001.
<ZH>Definition</>
Lower limit: x
Upper limit: y
The corresponding portion range: M = y - x.
The allowed maximum portion range depends on the lower-limit-value of x.
0% <= X <= 7.5%; M <= 3%
7.5% < X <= 20%; M <= 5%
20% < X <= 100%; M <= 10%
<ZH>Example</>
You have a portion range as follows:
Lower limit: X = 2%
Upper Limit: Y = 8%
Calculated portion range: M = Y - X = 2% - 8% = 6%.
The allowed maximum of portion range and the corresponding M value is:
0% <= X <= 7.5%; M <= 3%.
This maximum value range is not allowed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
