• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_DIS032 - Diff. resource categories from header resource &1 and subresource &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_DIS032 indicates a discrepancy between the resource categories defined for a header resource and its associated subresource in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises in scenarios involving production planning and scheduling, where resources are defined with specific categories that must match between parent and child resources.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The resource category of the header resource (e.g., a production line) does not match the resource category of one or more of its subresources (e.g., machines or work centers that are part of that production line).
  This mismatch can happen due to incorrect configuration or changes made to resource definitions without updating related resources.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Resource Definitions:
  
  Go to the transaction code C223 (or the relevant transaction for resource maintenance) to view the details of the header resource and its subresources.
  Compare the resource categories of the header resource and its subresources.
  
  
  
  Update Resource Categories:
  
  If you find a mismatch, you will need to update the resource category of either the header resource or the subresources to ensure they match.
  Make sure that the resource categories are consistent across all related resources.
  
  
  
  Recheck Configuration:
  
  Ensure that any recent changes to resource configurations have been properly reflected in all related resources.
  If necessary, consult with your configuration team to ensure that the resource categories are set up correctly according to your business processes.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the planning or scheduling process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
