• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/EHS_DG_CHECK025 - &1: Multipl. factor for DG product &3 should not be initial ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/EHS_DG_CHECK025 indicates that there is an issue with the dangerous goods (DG) product configuration in the SAP system. Specifically, the error message states that the multiplication factor for the dangerous goods product should not be initial (i.e., it should have a value).
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A dangerous goods product is being processed, but the multiplication factor (which is used to determine the quantity of dangerous goods for transport) has not been defined or is left blank.
  The system requires this multiplication factor to calculate the total quantity of dangerous goods for compliance with regulations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dangerous Goods Product Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction code EHS_DG) to check the configuration of the dangerous goods product.
  Ensure that the multiplication factor is defined for the specific dangerous goods product that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Maintain the Multiplication Factor:
  
  If the multiplication factor is missing, you need to enter a valid value. This value typically represents how many times the base quantity of the dangerous goods is multiplied for transport purposes.
  Save the changes after entering the multiplication factor.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After updating the dangerous goods product configuration, reprocess the transaction that triggered the error to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the appropriate value for the multiplication factor, consult the relevant documentation or guidelines for dangerous goods handling in your organization or industry.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to dangerous goods product configurations.
