FRMLDLG106 - Details

• The SAP error message FRMLDLG106 indicates that a key (usually a specification key) you are trying to use is already in use for another specification. This typically occurs in the context of managing specifications in SAP, particularly in the areas of product data management, material management, or recipe management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Key Usage: The key you are trying to create or modify is already assigned to another specification. This can happen if you are trying to create a new specification with a key that is already in use.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in data entry where the same key was inadvertently assigned to multiple specifications.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration may not allow for the reuse of keys across different specifications.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Specifications: 
  
  Use transaction codes like C223 (for specifications) or C201 (for material specifications) to search for the existing specification that is using the key.
