• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLMSC101 - Standard explosion indicator is not set in any formulas for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message FRMLMSC101 indicates that the standard explosion indicator is not set in any formulas for a specific material. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is trying to process a material that requires a formula for explosion but cannot find one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Standard Explosion Indicator: The material in question does not have a standard explosion indicator set in its associated formulas. This indicator is necessary for the system to know how to explode the bill of materials (BOM) for that material.
  Incorrect Configuration: The formulas or recipes for the material may not be properly configured, leading to the absence of the required indicator.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly maintained, which can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (transaction code MM03).
  Verify that the relevant views (like Basic Data, MRP, and Work Scheduling) are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Set the Standard Explosion Indicator:
  
  Navigate to the formula or recipe associated with the material (transaction code C201 or C202).
  Ensure that the standard explosion indicator is set for the relevant formulas. This is usually found in the formula details under the "General" or "Control" tab.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Formulas:
  
  If no formulas exist, you may need to create a new formula that includes the standard explosion indicator.
  If existing formulas are incorrect, update them to include the necessary indicator.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that any dependencies or links between the material and its formulas are correctly established.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on setting up formulas and indicators.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
