• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM10026 - Different serial no. profile &1 in rec. mat. &2 and prof. &3 in mat. &4 ?

  The SAP error message EM10026 indicates a mismatch between the serial number profile assigned to a material in a specific document (like a goods receipt or production order) and the serial number profile defined for that material in the material master. This error typically occurs during processes that involve serial number management, such as goods movements, production, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The serial number profile assigned to the material in the receiving document (e.g., a purchase order or production order) does not match the serial number profile defined in the material master for that specific material.
  There may be a configuration issue where the serial number profiles are not correctly set up or assigned.
  The material might have been changed or updated, leading to a mismatch in the serial number profiles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EM10026 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (transaction code MM03).
  Check the serial number profile assigned to the material in the relevant views (usually in the Accounting or Plant Data/Storage view).
  
  
  
  Check Document Data:
  
  Review the document (e.g., goods receipt, production order) where the error occurred.
  Verify the serial number profile assigned in that document.
  
  
  
  Update Serial Number Profile:
  
  If the serial number profile in the document is incorrect, you may need to change it to match the one in the material master.
  If the material master profile is incorrect, you can update it to the correct profile using transaction code MM02.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Ensure that the serial number profiles are consistently maintained across all relevant documents and master data.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the serial number profiles are set up correctly in the system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
