How To Fix RM338 - Inconsistencies between production version and run schedule header

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RM - Messages for Repetitive Manufacturing

• Message number: 338

• Message text: Inconsistencies between production version and run schedule header

What causes this issue?

There are data in the run schedule header which do not correspond to
the
production version, for example, routing or BOM data.
A possible reason for the inconsistency is that the production version
has been changed, but the run schedule header has not been updated.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Another reason could be that the MRP controller for the run schedule
header is no longer the same as the MRP controller for the material.

How to fix this error?

-if you want to process the run schedule header data further:

header", and save your data.
-if you want to process the production version data further:
When you change the run schedule header, select the pushbutton
'Copy version data' (Umsch+F6).
-if the MRP controller is the inconsistent factor:
Adjust the MRP controller in the material master or, when you change
the run schedule header, select the pushbutton 'Copy version data'
(Umsch+F6).
