• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60485 - Fixtures + fittings group "&" already exists ?

  The SAP error message 60485, which states "Fixtures + fittings group '&' already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new asset or asset group in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module, but the specified group already exists in the system. This can happen during asset creation, modification, or when trying to assign an asset to a group that is already defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that the asset group you are trying to create or use is already defined in the system.
  Incorrect Input: There may be a typographical error in the asset group name or code you are trying to enter.
  Configuration Issues: If the system is not properly configured, it may not recognize the existing group correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Groups: 
  
  Navigate to the Asset Accounting module and check the existing fixtures and fittings groups to confirm if the group you are trying to create already exists.
  You can do this by using transaction code OAOA (for asset classes) or OAYZ (for asset groups) to view the existing groups.
  
  
  
  Use Existing Group: 
  
  If the group already exists, consider using that group instead of trying to create a new one. Ensure that the group meets your requirements.
  
  
  
  Correct Input: 
  
  Double-check the input for any typographical errors. Ensure that you are entering the correct group name or code.
