• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLMSC140 - Primary output &1: Total solids of spec. do not equal calcul.total solids ?

  The SAP error message FRMLMSC140 indicates a discrepancy between the total solids specified in a formula and the calculated total solids based on the components of that formula. This error typically arises in the context of formula management in SAP, particularly when dealing with recipes or product formulations.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Total Solids: The total solids specified in the formula do not match the sum of the total solids calculated from the individual components of the formula.
  Incorrect Component Data: The data for one or more components may be incorrect, leading to an inaccurate calculation of total solids.
  Formula Changes: If the formula has been modified (e.g., components added or removed) without updating the total solids, this error can occur.
  Unit of Measure Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the units of measure used for the components versus what is expected in the formula.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Formula: Check the formula for any discrepancies. Ensure that the total solids specified match the calculated total solids based on the components.
  Check Component Data: Verify the data for each component in the formula. Ensure that the total solids values for each component are accurate and up to date.
  Update the Formula: If changes have been made to the components, update the total solids in the formula accordingly.
  Recalculate Total Solids: If necessary, recalculate the total solids based on the current components and update the formula.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for formula management to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like C201 (Create Recipe) or C202 (Change Recipe) to access and modify the formula.
  Master Data: Ensure that the master data for materials and components is correctly maintained in the system.
  Testing: After making changes, test the formula to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to formulas and components in SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in formula management.
