The related configurable material from the source system is also
distributed. During inbound processing the assignment from the material
variant to the configurable material is determined in the target
system. It is here that the inconsistency occurred, as the configurable
materials in the source (&V1&) and target system (
&V2&) are not identical.

This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the configuration of a configurable material (often associated with variant configuration) between the source and target systems.
  
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Differences: The configurable material in the source system has different characteristics, settings, or dependencies compared to the target system.
  Missing Characteristics: Some characteristics or values that exist in the source system may not be defined in the target system.
  Inconsistent BOMs: The Bill of Materials (BOM) for the configurable material may differ between the two systems.
  Transport Issues: If the material was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Verify that the configuration of the configurable material is
