  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Split Points:
  
  Navigate to the recipe in question and check the existing split points defined for the formula item. You can do this by accessing the recipe management transaction (e.g., using transaction code C201 or C202).
  
  
  
  Modify or Remove Existing Split Point:
  
  If you need to change the split point, you can modify the existing one. If the split point is no longer needed, you can remove it. Ensure that any changes made do not violate the integrity of the recipe.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation or guidelines for defining split points in your organization to ensure compliance with any specific requirements.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:

  User Authorization:
