  The SAP error message OPS_APPL_SE_INV037 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the dependent fields of parent and child items in a hierarchical structure, such as a bill of materials (BOM) or a production order. This error typically arises when the system detects that the attributes or characteristics of the parent item do not match those of its child items, which can lead to inconsistencies in data processing.
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause is that the dependent fields (such as material type, unit of measure, or other attributes) for the parent item and its child items are not aligned. This can happen if the child items were created or modified without proper synchronization with the parent item.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the material master or BOM settings can lead to this error.
