How To Fix VMP_MSG368 - Component cannot be moved; it belongs to different source hierarchy

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VMP_MSG - VMP Message Manager

• Message number: 368

• Message text: Component cannot be moved; it belongs to different source hierarchy

What causes this issue?

You're trying to move a component to an assembly but the component or
one or more of its components have been created based on another BOM
hierarchical structure in the source. Such movement breaks the
hierarchical structure of the source.

System Response

When you try to move or position the components present in the source
panel to another BOM hierarchical structure in the target panel, the
parent-child relationship breaks. The system displays an error message.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Move component only into a subassembly that does not break the
hierarchical integrity of the structure.
