How To Fix IM673 - Not possible to compare the notification and object data

IM673 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IM - Maintenance notifications

• Message number: 673

• Message text: Not possible to compare the notification and object data

What causes this issue?

It is not possible to copy the reference object data into the
notification, as the maintenance planning plant of the reference object
is not the same as the maintenance planning plant of the notification,
and the notification contains a revision.
The following reference object data can be copied:
Maintenance planner group
Maintenance planning plant
Responsible work center

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Both the revision and the maintenance planner group must exist in the
maintenance planning plant. Copying the reference object data would lead
to a data inconsistency.
Maintenance planning plant reference object,,,,&V3&
Maintenance planning group reference object,,,,&V4& / &V3&
Maintenance planning plant notification,,,,,,&V1&
Revision notification,,,,,,,,&V2& / &V1&
