FRMLMSC230 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 230

• Message text: Initial formula of explosion is different for substances and materials

What causes this issue?

The last stage formula is the initial formula from which the formula
explosion starts. The system determines the last stage formula based on
the substance and material flow within the recipe. In this recipe,
however, substance and material flow produce different formulas as the
last stage formula.

System Response

As the initial formula is not clear, the system cannot perform the
formula explosion.

How to fix this error?

Check the formulas in the recipe. Start with the first stage formula and
make sure that the substance and material flows are identical for each

This error typically arises in the context of production planning and material management when the system detects that the formula defined for a substance does not match the formula defined for the material that is being processed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Formulas: The primary cause of this error is that the initial formula for the material (e.g., a finished product) is different from the initial formula for the substance (e.g., a raw material or component) that is being used in the production process.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect or incomplete configuration in the material master or BOM settings.
  Changes in Formulas: If formulas have been changed or updated in the system, and the changes have not
