How To Fix PEP233 - The successor node for node with NODE_ID & is in a different task group

PEP233 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PEP - Schedule Manager: Messages

• Message number: 233

• Message text: The successor node for node with NODE_ID & is in a different task group

What causes this issue?

One of the tasks in the task group refers to a subsequent task
that does not appear in the same task group. This is not
possible.
Technical information: All tasks with the same PARENT_ID belong to the
same task group and are connected
to one another in a chain. The content of the
NSIBLING_ID field refers to the
NODE_ID node of the next task in the chain.
If the task that is referred to is located in another task group (that
is, it has a different PARENT_ID),
the task list is faulty.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PEP233 - The successor node for node with NODE_ID & is in a different task group ?

  The SAP error message PEP233 indicates that there is an issue with the task group assignment of nodes in a project or process. Specifically, it means that the successor node (the node that follows another in a sequence) is assigned to a different task group than the predecessor node (the node that comes before).

  Manual Changes: If nodes were manually moved or edited, it could result in a situation where the task groups no longer
