• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLCALC020 - Calculation of density of primary output is not possible ?

  The SAP error message FRMLCALC020, which indicates that the calculation of the density of the primary output is not possible, typically arises in the context of SAP's process manufacturing or production planning modules. This error can occur during the execution of a production order, when trying to calculate the density of a material based on its properties.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Data: The primary output material may not have the necessary data defined in the material master, such as density or other physical properties.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material or the production process may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in calculating the density.
  Formula Issues: If the density is calculated based on a formula, there may be an issue with the formula itself, such as missing components or incorrect parameters.
  Unit of Measure Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the units of measure used for the materials involved in the calculation.
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may have restrictions or specific requirements that are not being met.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master for the primary output has all the necessary data filled in, particularly the density and other relevant physical properties.
  Review Production Configuration: Verify that the production process and configuration settings are correct. This includes checking the routing, bill of materials (BOM), and any associated formulas.
  Validate Formulas: If a formula is used to calculate density, review it for accuracy. Ensure that all components are defined and that the formula is correctly set up.
  Unit of Measure Consistency: Check that the units of measure for all materials involved in the calculation are consistent and correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the error message and related processes.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the calculation process to identify where it fails.
  
  Related Information:
