  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_DIS038 indicates that there is a mismatch in the configuration of the Production Data Structure (PDS) for a specific sub-product (Sub-PPM) and its associated header resource. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to plan or schedule production but finds that the sub-resource defined in the PDS is not correctly linked to the header resource.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect PDS Configuration: The PDS for the sub-product may not be correctly set up to reference the appropriate sub-resource of the header resource.
  Resource Assignment Issues: The sub-resource may not be assigned to the header resource in the resource master data.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the PDS or resource definitions that prevent the system from recognizing the relationship between the sub-product and the header resource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check PDS Configuration:
  
  Go to the PDS in the SAP APO system and verify that the sub-resource is correctly defined and linked to the header resource.
  Ensure that the sub-resource is active and properly configured in the PDS.
  
  
  
  Review Resource Master Data:

  Adjust Resource Relationships:
  
  If necessary, adjust the relationships between the header resource and the sub-resource in the resource master data.
  Ensure that the production process is correctly defined to utilize the sub-resource.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update PDS:
  
  If the PDS is found to be incorrect, consider recreating or updating the PDS to ensure that it reflects the correct resource assignments.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks in the APO system to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/PDS to analyze and correct any inconsistencies.
