  Configuration Differences: There may be differences in the product configuration settings, such as unit of measure, product type, or other attributes.

  Re-run CIF: After making the necessary corrections, re-run the CIF to ensure that the data is synchronized between the two systems. You can use transaction CIF in R/3 to monitor and manage the CIF process.
  
  
  Check CIF Logs: Review the CIF logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with data transfer. This can help identify if there are other underlying problems.
