• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLCALC040 - Subst.&1 is aggregated; only non-initial tolerance limits cumulated (&2) ?

  The SAP error message FRMLCALC040 indicates an issue related to the aggregation of tolerance limits in a formula calculation. This error typically arises when you are trying to aggregate a substance (material) that has been marked as aggregated, but the system is only able to cumulate non-initial tolerance limits.
  Cause:
  
  Aggregated Substance: The substance you are working with is set up as an aggregated substance in the system. This means that it is treated as a collective entity rather than as individual components.
  Tolerance Limits: The error suggests that the tolerance limits you are trying to apply or cumulate are not set correctly. Specifically, the system is indicating that only non-initial tolerance limits can be cumulated for aggregated substances.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the way the substances and their tolerance limits are defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Substance Configuration: Review the configuration of the substance in question. Ensure that it is set up correctly as an aggregated substance and that the tolerance limits are defined properly.
  Review Tolerance Limits: Make sure that the tolerance limits you are trying to cumulate are non-initial. If they are initial limits, you may need to adjust them or use different limits that are appropriate for aggregation.
  Adjust Formula Settings: If applicable, check the formula settings in the relevant SAP module (e.g., SAP Recipe Management or SAP Product Lifecycle Management) to ensure that they are configured to handle aggregated substances correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling aggregated substances and tolerance limits.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Modules: This error is often encountered in modules related to production planning, recipe management, or product lifecycle management.
  Error Handling: Familiarize yourself with general error handling practices in SAP, such as transaction codes for debugging (e.g., ST22 for dumps, SLG1 for application logs).
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that the correct tolerance limits are being used, you should be able to resolve the FRMLCALC040 error.
