• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM364 - Inconsistency between DataSource &2 and planning area &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM364 indicates an inconsistency between a DataSource and a planning area in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration or data structure between the DataSource and the planning area.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be correctly configured to match the structure of the planning area. This can happen if the DataSource has been modified or if the planning area has been changed without updating the DataSource accordingly.
  Data Structure Changes: Changes in the data structure of the planning area (like adding or removing characteristics) that are not reflected in the DataSource can lead to this inconsistency.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may arise if the DataSource was not transported or updated correctly.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the DataSource and the planning area, especially if one has been updated and the other has not.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of both the DataSource and the planning area. Ensure that they are aligned in terms of characteristics and key figures.
  Update DataSource: If the planning area has been modified, update the DataSource to reflect these changes. This may involve reassigning characteristics or key figures.
  Recreate DataSource: In some cases, it may be necessary to recreate the DataSource to ensure it matches the planning area correctly.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all relevant transports have been executed correctly and that the DataSource and planning area are consistent across all systems (development, quality, production).
  Check for Notes: Look for any SAP Notes related to this error message. SAP may have provided specific guidance or patches to resolve known issues.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the DataSource and planning area are functioning correctly together.
