Patch 14498179 application ends in error.

 Hi Team,

Issue:

=========

Patch 14498179 application ends in error.

AutoPatch error:
-This patch is not compatible with your current codelines.
This patch is compatible with: entity 'po' - codeline 'R12.PO.C'.
Your current on-site codeline for the entity 'po' is: 'R12.PO.B'.
You should not apply this patch.
Apply an equivalent patch that is compatible with your
current codelines instead.

Though this issue has been discussed in many forums and in this community,

this issue is reported many times recently for many patches.

There is no solution available straightaway.

Would n a Code C patch failed when applied on 12.1.X?
