How To Fix VMP_MSG380 - Source and target hierarchy for the component &1 do not match.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VMP_MSG - VMP Message Manager

• Message number: 380

• Message text: Source and target hierarchy for the component &1 do not match.

What causes this issue?

The component in the target panel is part of an assembly that does not
match the hierarchical structure in the source panel.

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

System Response

The system displays an error message when it finds inconsistency between
the source and target hierarchical structures.

How to fix this error?

You must correct the structure by rearranging the hierarchical structure
in the target.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG380 - Source and target hierarchy for the component &1 do not match. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VMP_MSG380: Source and target hierarchy for the component &1 do not match.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a production order, process order, or during the component assignment in the production or planning process. The system checks the hierarchy of components in the Bill of Materials (BOM) or routing and finds that the source hierarchy (where the component is currently assigned) and the target hierarchy (where the component is being assigned or moved) do not match.
  In other words, the component is expected to be assigned to a certain hierarchy level (e.g., assembly, sub-assembly) but the system detects a mismatch between the source and target hierarchy levels for that component.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect BOM structure or changes in the BOM without proper update.
  Incorrect assignment of components in the routing or production order.
  Manual changes or inconsistencies in the component assignment.
  Mismatch in the hierarchy levels during component substitution or component assignment in process orders.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the BOM Structure:
  
  Verify the BOM for the finished product and ensure that the component in question is assigned to the correct hierarchy level.
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to check the component hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Check the Routing or Recipe:
  
  Verify the routing or process order operations to ensure the component is assigned correctly.
  Use transaction CA03 (Display Routing) or C203 (Display Process Order) to check component assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Component Assignment in the Order:
  
  If the error occurs during order processing, check the component assignment in the production or process order.
  Use transaction CO02 (Change Production Order) or COR2 (Change Process Order) to verify and correct component assignments.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Hierarchy:
  
  If the component is assigned incorrectly, adjust the hierarchy level in the BOM or routing to match the expected source or target hierarchy.
  Ensure that any component substitutions or manual changes respect the hierarchy structure.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update BOM/Routing:
  
  If inconsistencies persist, consider recreating or updating the BOM or routing to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes or SAP Support:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to specific SAP versions or patches. Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
