How To Fix EMDUS124 - Result parameter &1 can only be used with the total quantity

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EMDUS -

• Message number: 124

• Message text: Result parameter &1 can only be used with the total quantity

What causes this issue?

The parameter mentioned in the error message can only be defined on the
<LS>Time-of-Use Periods</> tab page under <LS>Total Quantity</>.
However, the system has established that this parameter is also used in
other time-of-use periods.
Multiple use of parameters can lead to the following inconsistencies:
During billing of profile values in the external system, the <LS>total
quantity</> is used as the basis for simulation using a synthetic
profile. If the parameter for the total quantity is not defined
uniquely, a normed synthetic profile cannot be correctly scaled on the
basis of the consumption.
During TOU exception billing, a billing period can be partially replaced
by an exception period. The result parameters determined in an exception
period are processed using different billing rules. You can only use
standard billing rules with the <LS>total quantity</>, meaning that you
do not observe the exception period for all result parameters under this
total quantity. If the total quantity is not defined uniquely, this
option is no longer possible.

System Response

The TOU interface has not been defined consistently.

How to fix this error?

Define a unique result parameter for the TOU period under <LS>Total
Quantity</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMDUS124 - Result parameter &1 can only be used with the total quantity ?

  The SAP error message EMDUS124 indicates that there is an issue with the use of a result parameter in a context where it is not applicable. Specifically, the message states that the result parameter (denoted as &1) can only be used with the total quantity. This typically occurs in scenarios involving calculations or data processing where the result parameter is expected to be associated with a total quantity rather than a partial or individual quantity.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Usage: The result parameter is being used in a context where it is not valid. For example, it may be used in a line item context instead of a total context.
  Data Processing Logic: The logic in the program or configuration may not be correctly set up to handle the result parameter as intended.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the relevant module or transaction that leads to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Context: Review the context in which the result parameter is being used. Ensure that it is only being applied in scenarios where a total quantity is expected.
  Adjust Logic: If you are developing or customizing a report or program, ensure that the logic correctly distinguishes between total and individual quantities. Modify the code to ensure that the result parameter is only invoked when dealing with total quantities.
  Review Configuration: If the error arises from a configuration setting, review the relevant settings in the SAP system to ensure they are correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific module you are working with to understand the correct usage of result parameters.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error does not recur and that the system behaves as expected.
