Hi @praba71

For the SUM to work, the line items you use to SUM ( what comes after [SUM:...] in your formula, have to be of a list format matching a dimension in your target module

This means that Organization Code(Mapped) and Config LF line items should have the format List, and the Lists should be Dimensions in your target module Comp Demand Analysis

You can read about how SUM works here.

If the table with the example is not clear, let me know and I'm happy to explain further (or in a different way)

Hi Prabakaran,

Try inputting only "Comp Incoming Inprocess Demand.Order Open Qty" only into the formula
If that resolves successfuly, add the first SUM into the formula, then add the second one

That should allow you to debug
