  Cause:
  The error message can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Duplicate BOM Generation: The system is attempting to create a BOM that already exists for the specified material and alternative.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration settings related to BOMs, such as the settings for alternative BOMs.
  Data Integrity Issues: There might be inconsistencies or errors in the master data related to the material or BOM.

  Solution:
  To resolve the FRMLINF114 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing BOMs: Verify if the BOM for the specified material and alternative already exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM) to view the existing BOMs.
  
  
  Review BOM Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for BOMs and alternative BOMs are correctly set up. This includes checking the settings in the material master and BOM settings.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the material master and BOM data to identify any discrepancies. You can use transaction codes like C223 (BOM: Check) to perform this check.
  
  
  Delete Duplicate BOMs: If you find that a duplicate BOM exists and is not needed, you can delete it using transaction CS02 (Change BOM) and then selecting the delete option.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to BOM processing for any specific guidance or known issues that may relate to your situation.
