How To Fix FRMLCALC042 - Formula &1: Max. theoret. output is transferred to best practical output

FRMLCALC042 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FRMLCALC - Formula Calculations

• Message number: 042

• Message text: Formula &1: Max. theoret. output is transferred to best practical output

What causes this issue?

You have not entered a value for the best practical output of the
formula &V1&.

System Response

The system transfers the value for the maximum theoretical output to the
best practical output. Otherwise 100% of the primary output would be
losses, which does not produce a meaningful result.

How to fix this error?

If losses occur in the process, define the best practical output in the
formula on the <LS>Quantities</> tab page

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLCALC042 - Formula &1: Max. theoret. output is transferred to best practical output ?

  The SAP error message FRMLCALC042 typically occurs in the context of formula calculations within SAP, particularly in the areas of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP). This message indicates that the maximum theoretical output of a formula has been transferred to the best practical output. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  
  Cause:
  
  Formula Configuration: The formula used in the production process may have been configured incorrectly, leading to a situation where the theoretical output exceeds what is practically achievable.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the materials, resources, or production processes that affect the calculation of outputs.
  Capacity Constraints: The production capacity or resource availability may not align with the theoretical calculations, causing the system to adjust the output to a more realistic level.
  Parameter Settings: The settings for the formula or the production process may not be optimized, leading to discrepancies between theoretical
