• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER299 - Manufacturer part number changed from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER299 indicates that there has been a change in the manufacturer part number for a specific item in the supply chain management (SCM) module. This message typically arises in scenarios where the system detects a discrepancy between the expected manufacturer part number and the one currently assigned to the item.
  Cause:
  
  Data Update: The manufacturer part number may have been updated in the system due to a change in the supplier's catalog or an update in the material master data.
  Manual Entry: A user may have manually changed the manufacturer part number in the relevant transaction or master data.
  Integration Issues: If there are integrations with other systems (like an ERP or external supplier systems), discrepancies can occur if the data is not synchronized properly.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in configuration settings related to material management or supply chain processes can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Changes: Check the change logs for the material master to see when and why the manufacturer part number was changed. This can help identify if the change was intentional or an error.
  Update Transactions: If the change was not intended, you may need to revert the manufacturer part number back to the original value (&1) or update the relevant transactions to reflect the new part number (&2).
  Data Consistency: Ensure that all related data (like purchase orders, sales orders, etc.) is consistent with the manufacturer part number. You may need to update these documents if they reference the old part number.
  Communication with Suppliers: If the change is due to a supplier update, communicate with the supplier to confirm the new part number and ensure that all relevant systems are updated accordingly.
  Review Integration Settings: If the issue is related to integration with other systems, review the integration settings and data transfer processes to ensure that they are functioning correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to investigate the material and its associated documents.
  Change Logs: Use the change log functionality in SAP to track changes made to the material master data.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling manufacturer part numbers and related SCM processes.
