What causes this issue?

You have carried out a consistency check and errors occurred in one of
the following areas:
Main components should be assigned in the following way:
First internal operation within the internal operations before the first
external subcontracting (this would be the first main component),
Every external subcontracting operation
First internal operation after the last external subcontracting
First internal operation between 2 external subcontracting operations
Planned modification: one planned modification is possible in the whole
REFO during creation. For example, only one reservation with Material
Provision Indicator (MPI) 'X' <ZK>Rework Material from Subcontractor</>.
Material Provision Indicator: every main component which is relevant for
good issue should have MPI 'S' <ZK>Rework Material </>for external
subcontracting or a planned modification in REFO. In case of planned
modification, the operation - where the planned modification takes place
- has two reservations: one with MPI 'S' <ZK>Rework Material </>which is
sent out and one with MPI 'X' <ZK>Rework Material from Subcontractor</>
which is received back to stock.
Material numbers and quantities:
Without planned modification, every main components should have the same
material number and quantity as used on the header screen.
With planned modification, before the material exchange, every main
component should have a 'from' material. After the material exchange,
every main components should have a 'to' material.
Special stock assignment: every main component should have the same
special stock assigment in the refurbishment order.
MRP relevance: if internal operation(s) precede an external
subcontracting operation, then MRP relevance display would be incorrect
(the goods issued components of the internal processes is lost from a
MRP relevance point of view). An additional reservation is required for
the last internal operation before an external subcontracting for
correct MRP relevance. This reservation would not relevant for goods
issue.
