G0501 - Details

• The SAP error message G0501, which states "Item set & has different breakdown property for subitem," typically occurs in the context of document processing, particularly in the areas of financial accounting or controlling. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the breakdown properties of the main item and its subitems in a document.
