• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/CA_SPF093 - Deletion of record & & & not possible; total mol % will not sum to 100 ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/CA_SPF093 Deletion of record & & & not possible; total mol % will not sum to 100 typically occurs in the context of managing chemical compositions or material specifications in SAP, particularly in the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) modules. This error indicates that you are trying to delete a record related to a material's composition, but doing so would result in the total molecular percentage not summing to 100%.
  Cause:
  
  Composition Integrity: The system requires that the total molecular percentage of the components in a material must equal 100%. If you attempt to delete a component (record) that would cause the total to fall below or exceed 100%, the system will prevent this action.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where the percentages do not add up to 100% due to incorrect values.
  Incomplete Data: The material composition may not be fully defined, leading to inconsistencies in the total percentage.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Composition: Review the current composition of the material. Ensure that the percentages of all components add up to 100%. If they do not, adjust the values accordingly.
  Adjust or Remove Components: If you need to delete a component, first ensure that the remaining components will still sum to 100%. You may need to adjust the percentages of the remaining components to maintain the total at 100%.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction or process for modifying material compositions. Sometimes, using a different transaction can help in resolving such issues.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to material management and composition to understand the requirements for maintaining valid compositions.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
