  • What causes this issue?

    Action point &V1& at &V2& and action point &V3& at &V4& are at exactly
    the same position in the line structure. Due to the hierarchic
    structure of a line structure, you can define action points for
    different factory layout objects, which actually correspond to the same
    position in the physical line structure.
    Example: A line structure consists of a line node, L_1, which is
    further divided in the hierarchy into the line segment nodes LA_1 to
    LA_5. The line segment nodes LA_1 to LA_5 are arranged in sequence one
    after the other, LA_1 being the first line segment node, and LA_5 the
    last.
    You could specify an action point at the start of the line node L_1,
    and also at the start of the line segment node LA_1. However, these two
    positions correspond to same place on the production line. The start of
    line node L_1 represents the start of the physical production line. The
    start of the line segment node LA_1 also represents the start of the
    physical production line.
    Two different action points are not allowed that share the same
    position within a line structure.

    System Response

    How to fix this error?
