• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP153 - Recipe is included in synchronization unit for master recipe ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP153 indicates that a recipe is included in a synchronization unit for a master recipe. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Process Industry solutions, particularly when dealing with recipes and production processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an action (like deleting or modifying a recipe) that is not allowed because the recipe is currently part of a synchronization unit. A synchronization unit is a grouping of recipes that are synchronized for production purposes, meaning they are linked together in a way that they must be processed in a specific order or manner.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Synchronization Unit: Determine which synchronization unit the recipe is part of. You can do this by checking the master recipe or the synchronization unit configuration in the SAP system.
  
  
  Remove the Recipe from the Synchronization Unit: If you need to modify or delete the recipe, you will first need to remove it from the synchronization unit. This can typically be done in the recipe management or master recipe management transaction (like C201 or C202).
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or processes that rely on the recipe being part of the synchronization unit. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action: Once the recipe has been removed from the synchronization unit, you should be able to perform the desired action (e.g., modifying or deleting the recipe) without encountering the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the steps or the implications of removing a recipe from a synchronization unit, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as C201 (Create Master Recipe), C202 (Change Master Recipe), and C203 (Display Master Recipe) for managing recipes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or updates that may pertain to your specific version of SAP.
  Process Industry Configuration: Understanding the configuration of the process industry module in SAP can help in managing recipes and synchronization units effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
