• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_BRF119 - Fact category sequence &1 is not multi-valued ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_BRF119 indicates that there is an issue with the fact category sequence in the Business Rule Framework (BRF) when it is expected to be multi-valued but is not. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is trying to process a fact category that should allow multiple values, but the configuration or data does not support this.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The fact category sequence may not be configured to allow multiple values. This can happen if the settings in the BRF are not correctly defined.
  Data Issues: The data being processed may not conform to the expected structure, leading to a mismatch between the expected multi-valued input and the actual data.
  Business Logic: The business rules defined in BRF may be expecting a multi-valued input but are being provided with a single value instead.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the BRF configuration and verify the settings for the fact category sequence. Ensure that it is set to allow multiple values.
  Review the definition of the fact category and ensure that it is correctly defined as multi-valued.
  
  
  
  Review Data:
  
  Check the data being passed to the BRF rules. Ensure that the data structure supports multiple values for the fact category in question.
  If the data is being sourced from another system or module, ensure that it is being populated correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Business Rules:
  
  If the business logic is expecting a multi-valued input, ensure that the rules are designed to handle such cases. This may involve modifying the rules to accommodate single or multiple values as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration and data to ensure that the error does not occur again. Use test cases that include both single and multiple values to validate the behavior.
