SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FRMLDLG - RMS-FRM: Dialog Messages for Formula

• Message number: 114

• Message text: Base unit of measure of formula and header mat. unit have diff.dimensions

What causes this issue?

The base unit of measure of the formula and the unit of measure of the
header material you selected have different dimensions. This is not
permitted.

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

System Response

How to fix this error?

Use a unit of measure for the header material whose dimension matches
that of the base unit of measure of the formula.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLDLG114 - Base unit of measure of formula and header mat. unit have diff.dimensions ?

  The SAP error message FRMLDLG114 indicates that there is a mismatch between the base unit of measure of a formula and the base unit of measure of the header material in terms of dimensions. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or when working with formulas in SAP, particularly in the context of production orders or recipes.
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The base unit of measure for the formula (e.g., liters, kilograms) does not match the base unit of measure for the header material. For example, if the formula is defined in liters and the header material is defined in kilograms, this discrepancy will trigger the error.
  Dimension Mismatch: The dimensions of the units of measure are not compatible. For instance, if one unit is a volume measure and the other is a weight measure, they cannot be directly compared or used together in calculations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Units of Measure: Verify the base unit of measure for both the formula and the header material. Ensure that they are compatible and represent the same dimension (e.g., both should be in weight or both in volume).
  Adjust Formula or Material: If necessary, adjust either the formula or the header material to ensure that they have the same base unit of measure. This may involve changing the unit of measure in the material master or the formula configuration.
  Use Conversion Factors: If the units of measure must remain different due to business requirements, consider using conversion factors to convert one unit to another in the formula or during the production process.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on how to handle unit of measure discrepancies in your particular SAP environment.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master: Check the material master data for both the formula and the header material to confirm their units of measure.
  Formula Configuration: Review the configuration of the formula in the SAP system to ensure that it is set up correctly.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling unit of measure issues.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to material master data or formula configurations.
  
  By addressing the mismatch in units of measure, you should be able to resolve the FRMLDLG114 error and proceed with your operations in SAP.
