• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIC_FM_CONFIG109 - Sum of weights for subnodes of node &1 should be (0,1). Actual value: &2. ?

  The SAP error message SIC_FM_CONFIG109 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a node in a function module tree, specifically related to the weights assigned to the subnodes. The message states that the sum of the weights for the subnodes of a specified node should be between 0 and 1, but the actual value calculated is outside this range.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  The weights assigned to the subnodes of a particular node do not sum up to a value between 0 and 1. This can happen due to incorrect configuration or manual entry errors.
  There may be missing weights for some subnodes, or the weights may have been incorrectly calculated or assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Node Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the function module tree where the error occurred.
  Identify the node mentioned in the error message (denoted as &1).
  
  
  
  Review Subnode Weights:
  
  Look at all the subnodes under the specified node and check their assigned weights.
  Ensure that the sum of these weights is between 0 and 1. If the sum is outside this range, adjust the weights accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Weights:
  
  If any subnode has a weight of zero or if weights are missing, consider assigning appropriate values to ensure the total is within the required range.
  If necessary, redistribute the weights among the subnodes to achieve the correct total.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  You may need to re-run the function module or the process that triggered the error to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the configuration for future reference and to help prevent similar issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Function Module Trees: These are used in various SAP applications to manage decision-making processes based on weighted criteria.
  Weighting Logic: The weights assigned to subnodes typically represent the importance or probability of each subnode's outcome, and they must be normalized to ensure proper functioning of the decision logic.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message, as there may be specific patches or recommendations provided by SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
