  The SAP error message TR_AUSL482, which states "Predecessor piece lists are inconsistent," typically occurs in the context of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP) when there are inconsistencies in the bill of materials (BOM) or routing data. This error can arise when the system detects that the predecessor piece lists (the components or materials that are required for a particular production process) do not match or are not properly defined.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent BOM Data: The BOM for the material may have been changed, but the changes were not properly reflected in all related documents or records.
  Routing Issues: The routing associated with the production order may not align with the BOM, leading to discrepancies.
  Missing Components: Some components listed in the BOM may be missing or incorrectly defined in the system.
  Versioning Issues: Different versions of the BOM or routing may be in use, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Corruption: There may be data integrity issues within the database that cause the predecessor piece lists to be inconsistent.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check BOM and Routing: Review the BOM and routing for the affected material to ensure that they are consistent and correctly defined. Make sure that all components are included and that their quantities are accurate.
  Update Records: If changes have been made to the BOM or routing, ensure that all related records are updated accordingly. This may involve re-saving the BOM or routing.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes such as CS03 (Display BOM) and CA03 (Display Routing) to check the details of the BOM and routing.
  Check for Versions: Ensure that the correct version of the BOM and routing is being used in the production order. If necessary, switch to the correct version.
  Run Consistency Checks: Use SAP tools to run consistency checks on the BOM and routing data to identify and rectify any discrepancies.
