• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MH265 - Fiber share for other fibers cannot exceed 15% ?

  The SAP error message MH265, which states "Fiber share for other fibers cannot exceed 15%," typically occurs in the context of material management or production planning within SAP, particularly when dealing with the configuration of products that contain multiple components or fibers.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the total percentage of certain fiber types (often referred to as "other fibers") in a product exceeds the allowed limit of 15%. This limit is usually set in the material master data or in the configuration of the product recipe. The system enforces this limit to ensure compliance with product specifications, quality standards, or regulatory requirements.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the product in question. Look specifically at the fiber composition and ensure that the percentage of "other fibers" does not exceed 15%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Fiber Composition:
  
  If the fiber composition exceeds the limit, you will need to adjust the percentages of the fibers used in the product. This may involve reducing the amount of "other fibers" or increasing the amount of primary fibers that are allowed.
  
  
  
  Check Product Recipe:
  
  If you are working with a production recipe, review the recipe to ensure that the fiber shares are correctly defined and comply with the 15% limit.
  
  
  
  Consult with Product Development:
  
  If the fiber composition is critical for product performance, consult with the product development or quality assurance teams to determine if the limit can be adjusted or if alternative materials can be used.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If necessary, update the configuration settings in SAP to reflect any changes in product specifications or to adjust the limits if they are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes in a development or quality environment before moving to production to ensure that the error does not recur.
