  The SAP error message /PM0/ABU_MESSAGES073 &1 Inconsistency between general and specific BTrans is shiftable typically relates to issues in the configuration of business transactions (BTrans) in the SAP system, particularly in the context of shift planning or workforce management.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistency in Configuration: This error usually arises when there is a mismatch between the general and specific configurations of business transactions. For example, if a general business transaction is defined as shiftable, but the specific transaction is not, or vice versa, this inconsistency triggers the error.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data integrity, such as missing or incorrect entries in the configuration tables that define the behavior of business transactions.

  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for both the general and specific business transactions. Ensure that the shiftability settings are consistent across both levels.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., SPRO) and review the settings for business transactions.
  
  
  Correct Inconsistencies: If you find discrepancies, correct them to ensure that both the general and specific business transactions have the same shiftability status.
  Data Validation: Validate the data in the relevant tables to ensure that there are no missing or incorrect entries that could be causing the inconsistency.
  Testing: After making changes, perform thorough testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the business transactions behave as expected.
