SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FRMLMSC - RMS-FRM: Miscellaneous Messages for Formula

• Message number: 142

• Message text: Density of primary output &1 does not exist

What causes this issue?

For calculations, the system requires the density of the substances
involved. It takes these from the property tree for the substance from
the characteristic and value assignment type you specified in
Customizing for Formulas in the environment parameters
<DS:TX.RMS_IMG_ENVPARA_ATNAM_DENSTY>FRML_ATNAM_DENSITY</> or
<DS:TX.RMS_IMG_ENVPARA_ESTCAT_DENS>FRML_ESTCAT_DENSITY</>. No density
was specified there for the substance of primary output &V1&.

System Response

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

This error indicates that the system is unable to find the density value for the specified primary output material, which is necessary for calculations related to production, formulation, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Density Data: The primary output material (indicated by &1) does not have a defined density in the material master data.
  Incorrect Material Master Configuration: The material master record may not be properly configured to include density information.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the relevant tables that store density information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the primary output material (transaction code MM03).
  Navigate to the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data 1, Basic Data 2, or the specific view related to formula management).
  Ensure that the density value is entered in the appropriate field.
  
  
  
  Maintain Density Information:
  
  If the density is missing, you can add it by editing the material master record. Make sure to save the changes.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP administrator or the person responsible for maintaining material data.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system allow for the use of density in the calculations. This may involve checking the settings in the formula management module.
  
  
  
  Review Related Documentation:
  
  Consult SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing material master data and density settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), MM01 (Create Material).
  SAP Modules: This error is often related to modules such as SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and specifically within the areas of Production Planning (PP) and Recipe Management (if applicable).
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to view and edit material master data.
