• The SAP error message "60866: Fixt./fitt.charact. '&' already assigned to building" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Real Estate Management (RE) or Plant Maintenance (PM) modules. This error indicates that a fixed or fitted characteristic (often referred to as a "fixt./fitt. charact.") is already assigned to a building or object, and you are attempting to assign it again, which is not allowed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The characteristic you are trying to assign is already linked to the building or object in question.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules that prevent the same characteristic from being assigned multiple times to the same object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., IL02 for equipment or RE transaction for buildings) and check the existing assignments for the characteristic in question.
  You can use transaction codes like IE03 (Display Equipment) or RE03 (Display Real Estate Object) to view the current assignments.
