• Message class: O3 - IS-Oil: HPM messages (goods movements, QCI, deliveries)

• Message number: 063

• Message text: Compression factor = 1 is used for chosen set of base conditions

What causes this issue?

gas compression factor of dry air is not defined exactly and will be set
to <ZH>1</> by the system.

System Response

This message can be customized to appear as a warning, error or
information message (Trans. O591).

How to fix this error?

If you want to use a more accurate compression factor, you can use

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3063 - Compression factor = 1 is used for chosen set of base conditions ?

  The SAP error message O3063, which states "Compression factor = 1 is used for chosen set of base conditions," typically occurs in the context of SAP's pricing and condition technique, particularly when dealing with condition records in pricing procedures.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the system has determined that the compression factor for the selected set of base conditions is 1. This usually means that the system is unable to compress the condition records further because there is no redundancy or that the conditions are already optimized. In other words, the system is indicating that the conditions are already at their most efficient state, and no further compression can be applied.
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records for the pricing procedure in question. Ensure that there are no unnecessary or duplicate entries that could be causing the compression factor to remain at 1.
  
  
  Adjust Condition Types: If applicable, review the condition types and their settings. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that they are intended to be compressed.
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure: Review the pricing procedure to ensure that it is configured correctly. Make sure that the sequence of condition types is appropriate and that there are no conflicts.
  
  
  Analyze Base Conditions: Look into the base conditions that are being used. If they are too specific or not set up to allow for compression, consider adjusting them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on condition records and compression factors. This can provide insights into best practices for setting up pricing conditions.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on how to handle it.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the pricing procedure to see if the error persists. Monitor the behavior of the condition records to ensure they are functioning as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Technique: Understanding how the condition technique works in SAP can help in troubleshooting issues related to pricing and condition records.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) to manage condition records effectively.
  SAP Community: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide additional insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
