• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM10029 - Different serial no. profile &1 in rec. mat. &2 and prof. &3 in mat. &4 ?

  The SAP error message EM10029 indicates a mismatch between the serial number profile assigned to a material in a specific document (like a receipt) and the serial number profile defined for the material master. This error typically occurs during processes involving goods receipt, inventory management, or when handling materials that require serial number tracking.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The serial number profile assigned to the material in the receipt document does not match the serial number profile defined in the material master record.
  The material master record has been changed after the document was created, leading to a mismatch.
  The material is being processed in a way that requires a specific serial number profile that is not aligned with the one in the document.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EM10029 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:

  Update Serial Number Profile:
  
  If the serial number profile in the material master needs to be changed, you can do this using transaction code MM02. Make sure to update the profile to match the one used in the document.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the material master or the document, consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your organization's processes.
