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

• Message number: 218

• Message text: Specify the density of aerated products for specification &1

What causes this issue?

The system determines the <ZK>density of aerated products</> from the
specification data. To do this, it evaluates the value assignment type
and the characteristic that were specified in the
FRML_ESTCAT_DENSITY_OVR and FRML_ATNAM_DENSITY_OVR environment
parameters.

System Response

The system cannot find a value for the <ZK>density of aerated products
</>.

How to fix this error?

Edit the <ZK>density of aerated products</> value assignment type in
the property tree of the specification.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLMSC218 - Specify the density of aerated products for specification &1 ?

  The SAP error message FRMLMSC218 indicates that the system requires the density of aerated products to be specified for a particular specification. This error typically arises in the context of material management or product formulation within SAP, particularly when dealing with products that have variable densities due to aeration.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system needs the density value to perform calculations related to the formulation, inventory management, or production planning of aerated products. Aerated products, such as certain food items or chemical mixtures, can have different densities based on their composition and processing, and this information is crucial for accurate inventory and formulation management.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to specify the density of the aerated product in the relevant material specification. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Material Master: Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM01 (Create Material) depending on whether you are creating a new material or updating an existing one.
  
  
  Select the Appropriate Views: Ensure you are in the appropriate views that pertain to the product formulation or characteristics. This may include the Basic Data, Classification, or specific views related to the product type.
  
  
  Enter Density Information: Locate the field for density (often labeled as "Density" or "Bulk Density") and enter the required value. Make sure to specify the correct unit of measurement (e.g., kg/m³, g/cm³).
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the necessary information, save your changes to the material master record.
  
  
  Recheck the Specification: If the error persists, double-check that the density is correctly entered and that there are no other missing fields that might trigger the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Specifications: Ensure that the material specifications are complete and accurate, as incomplete data can lead to various errors in SAP.
  Aerated Product Characteristics: Understand the specific characteristics of the aerated product you are working with, as this can affect how density is calculated or specified.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's SAP support resources for more detailed guidance on handling material specifications and related errors.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in material management.
