How To Fix FRMLDLG388 - Quantities of synchronized formula are scaled by factor &1

FRMLDLG388 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 388

• Message text: Quantities of synchronized formula are scaled by factor &1

What causes this issue?

After the system has determined the synchronized formula based on the
stage formulas, it scales the quantities. The factor for the scaling
results from the assumption that the maximum theoretical output of the
synchronized formula is the same as the reference quantity of the
recipe.
If no reference quantity exists for the recipe, the synchronized formula
is not scaled. In this case, this message does not appear. Target input
quantity, best practical output, and maximum theoretical output of the
unscaled, synchronized formula match the quantities of the last stage
formula.

System Response

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

FRMLDLG388 - Details

• The SAP error message FRMLDLG388 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the quantities of synchronized formulas, which are scaled by a specific factor. This typically occurs in the context of formula management within SAP, particularly when dealing with production or planning processes that involve formulas for materials.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a mismatch in the quantities of the components or ingredients in a formula that is synchronized with another formula. This can happen due to:
  
  Different Scaling Factors: The formulas may have been defined with different scaling factors, leading to inconsistencies in the quantities.
  Changes in Formula Configuration: If a formula has been modified (e.g., changing the quantity of a component) without updating the synchronized formulas, it can lead to this error.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data related to the materials or formulas involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FRMLDLG388 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Formula Definitions:
