The error is reported during SAP® synchronization. A conflict occurred while checking consistency rules.
Error message
The process model assigned to the function <Name of function> was skipped because SAP model type and SAP function type do not match.
Cause
In ARIS, you can assign several models of the same type to one function. The SAP model type attribute determines the model relevant to synchronization. If you receive this error message, the wrong value has been specified for the model.
The hierarchical structure of SAP® Solution Manager elements is structured in ARIS by means of the defined assignment structure. Structural elements are represented by SAP functions. The hierarchical structure is handled by functions with distinct SAP function type attributes, database subgroups, and models with related SAP model type attributes. The default symbol used for functions depends on the model type selected for the assignment. The SAP function type attribute of a function must match the SAP model type attribute of the assigned model. This model must only contain function occurrences of the next lower SAP function type. You can assign several models of the same type, such as EPC or Function allocation diagram, to a function. If you use BPMN diagrams, only one assigned BPMN diagram is allowed. The SAP model type attribute must be specified only for the one model relevant to synchronization, and the assignment structure must be consistent.
In SAP® Solution Manager 7.1, the process structure below the project node is fixed on a 3-level hierarchy: Scenarios > Business Processes > Process Steps.

As this structure is mandatory for SAP synchronization, in ARIS new SAP functions can be created using a wizard.
Solution
Change the SAP model type of the model relevant to synchronization to match the SAP function type of the function to which the model has been assigned. If more than one model has been assigned to a function, make sure that the SAP model type attribute has only been specified for one model.
