• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PROD_ALLOC_SEQUENCE028 - The lead time duration units in sequence group &2&1 are not identical. ?

  The SAP error message PROD_ALLOC_SEQUENCE028 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the lead time duration units within a sequence group. Specifically, it means that the lead time durations for different operations or components in the specified sequence group are not using the same unit of measurement (e.g., days, hours, minutes).
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Units: The lead time durations for different operations in the sequence group are defined using different units. For example, one operation might be defined in hours while another is defined in days.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the sequence group settings or in the master data for the materials or operations involved.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors when defining lead times for operations or components can lead to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sequence Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the sequence group configuration in SAP and review the lead time settings for each operation or component.
  Ensure that all lead time durations are defined using the same unit of measurement.
  
  
  
  Standardize Units:
  
  If you find that different units are being used, standardize them to a single unit (e.g., convert all lead times to hours or days).
  Update the lead time values accordingly in the sequence group.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the materials and operations involved in the sequence group. Ensure that the lead times are consistently defined across all relevant records.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the sequence group to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the configuration or master data for future reference and to prevent similar issues from occurring.
