  VOFM_FMLA_REGISTRY006: Routine number &1 is currently not supported
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to use a formula routine number in the SAP system that is not supported or not implemented in your current SAP environment. The message indicates that the routine number you are referencing in your formula (e.g., in payroll or time evaluation) is not recognized by the system.
  This can happen due to:

  If you need a custom routine, ensure it is properly developed, registered, and activated in your system.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Ensure the routine number is correctly entered without mistakes.
  
  
  
  Update or Patch SAP System:
