For sure, sgroup is right. The two positions differ only by the F-centering (0.5,0,0.5)
AND ARE THUS IDENTICAL POSITIONS.	

"Fractional occupancies" as specified in X-ray structures are not possible.
You must split the 16d position, which will reduce symmetry and you no longer have SG227.
"16d" in fcc means you have "4-nonequivalent" atoms.
Now occupy 2 of them with Mn and 2 other with Co. This gives you the simplest possible
ordered "supercell".
To achieve this, remove the "spacegroup 227", but just specify a F-centered lattice.

Of course, this is a first, very crude model of a "disordered" compound and you may want to test
arrangements with larger supercells.

What is inconsistent ???? You must consider the multiplicity of the atoms!
