  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X009 Synchronization not possible typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics and Supply Chain Management modules, particularly when dealing with the Global Supply Chain (GSS) functionality. This error indicates that there is an issue with the synchronization process between different systems or components within the SAP landscape.
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the systems that are supposed to be synchronized. This could be due to missing or incorrect entries in master data or transactional data.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the SAP system can lead to synchronization problems. This includes settings related to the Global Supply Chain or the specific modules involved.
  
  
  Network Issues: If the systems are distributed across different locations, network connectivity issues can prevent successful synchronization.
  
  
  Version Mismatch: If different systems are running incompatible versions of SAP or specific components, this can lead to synchronization errors.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for the user or system trying to perform the synchronization can also trigger this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the data in both systems to ensure that it is consistent. Look for missing or incorrect entries in master data (like material master, vendor master, etc.) and transactional data.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Verify the configuration settings related to the Global Supply Chain and ensure they are correctly set up. This may involve checking settings in transaction codes like SPRO.
  
  
  Network Connectivity: Ensure that there are no network issues affecting the connection between the systems. Test the connectivity and resolve any network-related problems.
  
  
  Version Compatibility: Check the versions of the SAP systems involved in the synchronization. Ensure that they are compatible and, if necessary, update them to the latest versions.
  
  
  Authorization Checks: Ensure that the user or system performing the synchronization has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
