  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP421 indicates that the consistency checkbox for a recipe was deselected automatically. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Recipe Management module, which is part of the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) suite. The consistency checkbox is used to ensure that the recipe is valid and that all necessary components and parameters are correctly defined.
  Cause:
  The automatic deselection of the consistency checkbox can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Data: If required fields or components of the recipe are missing or incomplete, the system may automatically deselect the consistency checkbox to indicate that the recipe is not valid.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the data, such as mismatched units of measure, incorrect ingredient specifications, or other discrepancies, the system may flag the recipe as inconsistent.
  
  
  Changes in Related Objects: If there are changes made to related objects (like materials, BOMs, or other recipes) that affect the current recipe, the system may automatically update the consistency status.
  
  
  System Configuration: Certain configurations or settings in the SAP system may lead to automatic deselection of the consistency checkbox based on specific business rules or validation checks.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on recipe management and consistency checks.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to review system configurations that may affect the consistency checkbox behavior.
