How To Fix WRF_APC381 - Rollout &1 of material &2 is not consistent with rollout &3 of PL &4

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WRF_APC - Messages for Operational Assortment Planning and Control

• Message number: 381

• Message text: Rollout &1 of material &2 is not consistent with rollout &3 of PL &4

What causes this issue?

Material &V2& is assigned to rollout &V1&. This rollout is assigned to a
different rollout group than rollout &V3& of purchasing list &V4&.
One possible reason is that the material belongs to a different category
than the purchasing list. Both categories could be assigned to different
rollout groups.

System Response

Depending on the Customizing <DS:SIMG.WRF_APC_0003>settings</> for this
message, the system might not allow you to add the material to the
purchasing list.

How to fix this error?

Change the Customizing settings for this message, if necessary.
Choose a different material to add to purchasing list &V4&.
Add the current material to a different purchasing list with a rollout
assignment that does not contradict the valid rollouts for the current
material.

</> and <DS:TRAS.WRFROCAT>Assignment of Categories to Rollout Groups</>.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC381 - Rollout &1 of material &2 is not consistent with rollout &3 of PL &4 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC381 Rollout &1 of material &2 is not consistent with rollout &3 of PL &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Variant Configuration when working with rollouts of materials and production versions (or production lots - PL).
  
  The message indicates that the rollout number &1 of material &2 does not match or is inconsistent with the rollout number &3 of the production lot (PL) &4.
  Essentially, the system expects the rollout of the material to be consistent with the rollout of the production lot or production version it is linked to.
  This inconsistency can arise due to:
  
  Incorrect or mismatched rollout numbers assigned to the material and the production lot.
  Data inconsistencies during material master or production version creation or change.
  Rollout data not properly maintained or updated in the system.
  Transport or copy errors where rollout data was not correctly transferred.
  
  
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During production order creation or change.
  When checking or validating production versions or bill of materials (BOM) with rollout data.
  During variant configuration or material master data synchronization.
  When using rollout functionality in SAP to manage product versions or variants.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Rollout Numbers:
  
  Verify the rollout number assigned to the material (&2) and the rollout number assigned to the production lot (&4).
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), CS03 (Display BOM), or C223 (Change Production Version) to check rollout data.
  
  
  
  Align Rollout Data:
  
  Ensure that the rollout number of the material matches the rollout number of the production lot or production version.
  If they differ, update the rollout number in the material master or production version to be consistent.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Inconsistencies:
  
  If rollout data is missing or incorrect, maintain it properly in the relevant master data.
  Use transaction C223 to maintain production versions and rollout data.
  Use CS02 or CS03 to check BOM rollout data.
  
  
  
  Check Transport or Copy Logs:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or copy of material master or production versions, verify that rollout data was correctly transported.
  Re-transport or manually correct rollout data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to rollout inconsistencies or variant configuration rollout errors.
  Sometimes patches or corrections are available.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Rollout in SAP refers to the process of copying or transferring master data (like BOMs, routings, production versions) from one plant or material to another, often used in product lifecycle management or variant configuration.
  Rollout numbers help track versions or variants of materials and their associated production data.
  Consistency between rollout numbers ensures that the correct versions of materials and production data are used together.
  Transactions related to rollout and production versions:
  
  C223 - Change Production Version
  CS02 / CS03 - Change / Display BOM
  MM03 - Display Material Master
  CO01 / CO02 - Create / Change Production Order (where error might appear)
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Rollout number of material does not match rollout number of production lot/production version.
  
  
  Effect
  System detects inconsistency and throws error WRF_APC381 during order creation or validation.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and align rollout numbers in material master and production version; correct inconsistencies.

  Transactions: C223, CS02/CS03, MM03, CO01/CO02
  
  
  Additional
  Check SAP Notes and transport logs if rollout data was recently changed or transported.
