FRMLMSC163 - Details

• The SAP error message FRMLMSC163 indicates that there is a conflict in the selection of evaporation and reaction indicators in a formulation or recipe. This error typically arises in the context of managing formulations in SAP, particularly in the SAP ERP system's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Recipe Management modules.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system does not allow both evaporation and reaction indicators to be selected simultaneously for a particular formulation. This is due to the fact that these two indicators represent different processes that cannot logically occur at the same time. For example:
  
  Evaporation refers to the process where a liquid turns into vapor, which is typically a physical change.
  Reaction refers to a chemical change where substances interact to form new products.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one of the indicators is selected at a time. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  Review the Formulation: Open
