  The SAP error message IPPECIF179 ("Assignment to function group CMP differs") typically occurs during the development or transport of ABAP programs, function modules, or other objects in the SAP environment. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the assignment of a function module to a function group, specifically when the function group is expected to be "CMP" (which stands for "Common Module Pool").
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Transport Issues: If the function module or program was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance), and the function group assignment does not match the expected assignment in the target system.
  Development Changes: If changes were made to the function module or program in different systems without proper synchronization, leading to inconsistencies.

  Transport Consistency:

  Reassign Function Group:
  
  If the function module is incorrectly assigned, you may need to reassign it to the correct function group. This can be done in the function module's attributes.
