• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSC010 - Substance &1 is defined as the primary output in multiple formulas ?

  The SAP error message RMSC010 indicates that a substance (material) is defined as the primary output in multiple formulas within the SAP system. This situation typically arises in the context of SAP's Recipe Management or Process Management modules, where formulas are used to define how products are manufactured.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A specific substance (e.g., a chemical or raw material) is set as the primary output in more than one formula. 
  The system requires that each substance can only be the primary output in a single formula to avoid ambiguity in production planning and execution.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Formulas: 
  
  Use transaction codes like C201 (Create Recipe) or C202 (Change Recipe) to find the formulas where the substance is defined as the primary output.
  Check the details of each formula to see where the conflict arises.
  
  
  
  Modify Formulas:
  
  Decide which formula should retain the substance as the primary output.
  For the other formulas, you can either:
  
  Change the primary output to a different substance.
  Remove the substance from being a primary output if it is not necessary.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that changing the primary output does not affect other dependent processes or recipes.
  Review any production orders or planning scenarios that might be impacted by this change.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the error is resolved and that the formulas function as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
