• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM038 - PRT in tgt syst. is more up to date than in sending syst; IDoc is ignored ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM038 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the Production Resource Tools (PRT) data in the target system and the sending system. Specifically, it means that the PRT in the target system is more up-to-date than the one in the sending system, leading to the IDoc being ignored.
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: The target system has a more recent version of the PRT data than the sending system. This can happen if changes were made directly in the target system or if there was a delay in the data transfer from the sending system.
  IDoc Configuration: The IDoc may not be configured to handle situations where the target system has more recent data.
  Manual Changes: Manual updates in the target system that are not reflected in the sending system can lead to this error.
