  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC156 Mat. &1, plant &2: Consignment control &3 will overwrite normal procurement
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during the configuration or master data maintenance of a material in SAP when the consignment control indicator is set in a way that it will overwrite or conflict with the existing normal procurement settings for the material in the specified plant.
  
  Consignment control refers to the procurement type where the vendor owns the stock until it is consumed.
  The system detects that the consignment control setting you are trying to apply will override or replace the current procurement type (e.g., standard procurement, subcontracting, etc.) for the material in the plant.
  This can happen if you are changing the procurement type or consignment indicator in material master or info records, and the system warns you that the consignment setting will take precedence over the normal procurement settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Procurement Type Settings:
  
  Check the material master (transaction MM02) for the plant in question.
  Go to the Purchasing view and verify the procurement type and consignment control indicator.
  Confirm if the consignment control setting is intended to overwrite the normal procurement.
  
  
  
  Adjust Consignment Control Appropriately:
  
  If consignment procurement is desired, ensure that the consignment control indicator is correctly set.
  If normal procurement should remain, remove or adjust the consignment control indicator.
  
  
  
  Check Info Records and Source Lists:
  
  Sometimes, info records or source lists may have conflicting procurement types.
  Use transactions ME12 (Change Purchasing Info Record) or ME01 (Maintain Source List) to verify and correct procurement types.
  
  
  
  Coordinate with Purchasing and Inventory Teams:
  
  Since this affects procurement and inventory management, confirm with relevant teams whether consignment procurement is required.
  
  
  
  Test Changes in a Development or Quality System:
  
  Before applying changes in production, test the settings to ensure no unintended overwriting occurs.
