  Review the Order: Check the combined order to identify which materials are planned in ERP and which are planned in SCM. You may need to separate these materials into different orders.
  Adjust Planning Settings: If applicable, review the planning settings in both the ERP and SCM systems to ensure that they are aligned and that combined orders can only include materials from the same planning type.
