  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RCP014 Recipe description is derived from language &1 typically occurs in the context of the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module, particularly when dealing with recipes or formula management. This message indicates that the recipe description is being derived from a specific language setting, which may not be properly configured or may not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Language Configuration: The recipe description is set to a language that is not fully supported or configured in the system. This can happen if the language is not installed or if the necessary translations are missing.
  Missing Data: The recipe may not have a description in the specified language, leading the system to derive it from a default or fallback language.
  User Settings: The user’s language settings in their profile may not match the available languages for the recipe.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the required language is installed in the SAP system. You can check this in the SAP GUI under transaction code SMLT (Language Transport).
  Verify that the language settings in the user profile match the languages available for the recipe.
  
  
  
  Update Recipe Descriptions:
  
  If the recipe description is missing for the specified language, you may need to add or update the description in the appropriate language. This can be done in the recipe management transaction (e.g., C201 for creating recipes).
  Ensure that all necessary translations are provided for the recipe descriptions.
  
  
  
  Fallback Language:
  
  If the system is set to derive the description from a fallback language, ensure that the fallback language has a valid description for the recipe.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to PLM and recipe management for additional guidance on language settings and translations.
