• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM055 - Movement types & and & are not consistent ?

  The SAP error message RM055 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the movement types specified in a transaction. This error typically arises during inventory management processes, such as goods movements, where the movement types being used do not align with the expected configurations or rules defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Movement Type Configuration: The movement types involved may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the movement type definitions.
  Incompatible Movement Types: The movement types being used may not be compatible with each other. For example, you might be trying to perform a transaction that requires a specific movement type, but the one you are using does not meet the criteria.
  Document Type Issues: The document type associated with the movement types may not allow the combination of the specified movement types.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction with the specified movement types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the movement type configuration in SPRO (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Inventory Management > Movement Types.
  Verify that the movement types are correctly defined and that they are set up to be used together.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Details:
  
  Ensure that the movement types you are trying to use are appropriate for the transaction you are performing. For example, check if you are trying to use a movement type for goods receipt when the system expects a goods issue movement type.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Review the document type settings associated with the movement types. Ensure that the document type allows the combination of the movement types you are using.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction with the specified movement types. If not, consult with your SAP security team to adjust the authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the movement types in question. Sometimes, there are known issues or patches that can resolve inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error does not occur again.
