• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_BRF118 - Fact type sequence &1 is not multi-valued ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_BRF118, which states "Fact type sequence &1 is not multi-valued," typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when working with fact types in decision tables or rules. This error indicates that the fact type you are trying to use is expected to be multi-valued, but it is defined as a single-valued fact type.
  Cause:
  
  Fact Type Definition: The fact type in question is defined as a single-valued type, meaning it can only hold one value at a time.
  Rule Configuration: The rule or decision table is configured to expect a multi-valued fact type, which leads to a mismatch.
  Data Input: The data being processed may be attempting to input multiple values into a fact type that does not support it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fact Type Definition: 
  
  Go to the BRF+ workbench and check the definition of the fact type &1. Ensure that it is defined as a multi-valued fact type if you intend to use it in a multi-valued context.
  If it is not defined as multi-valued, you may need to redefine it to allow multiple values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Rule Configuration:
  
  Review the rules or decision tables that reference this fact type. If the logic requires multiple values, ensure that the fact type is appropriately set up to handle that.
  If the logic does not require multiple values, adjust the rule to work with single values instead.
  
  
  
  Data Handling:
  
  Ensure that the data being passed to the fact type is compatible with its definition. If you are trying to pass multiple values, consider how you can structure the data to fit the expected format.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the rules or decision tables to ensure that the error is resolved and that the logic behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BRF+ Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for BRF+ to understand how to define and manage fact types, including the differences between single-valued and multi-valued types.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  Debugging: Use the debugging tools available in BRF+ to trace the execution of rules and identify where the mismatch occurs.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FMCA_BRF118 error and ensure that your BRF+ rules function correctly.
