SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MW - Messages IS-R / Allocation Tables

• Message number: 316

• Message text: No new calculation will occur

What causes this issue?

The system re-calculates quantities only for single materials or
variants. The allocation table item contains neither a single material
nor a variant of a generic material.

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

Note:
The component items of a structured material (such as a generic
material) can be created using the entry help in the allocation table.
The system copies data such as the allocation rule, plant groups,
plants, shares, and sources of supply as default values from the higher-
level item.
The system automatically calculates the quantities for the higher-level
material as the total of the quantities for the lower-level items.

How to fix this error?

Manually maintain changes for the items.
