  Modify Assignments: If the rental agreement is already assigned to a main contract party, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the existing assignment if it is no longer valid.
  Create a new rental agreement for the additional main contract party instead of trying to assign the same one.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's internal documentation or SAP help resources for specific procedures on managing rental agreements and main contract assignments.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe this error is occurring incorrectly, check the configuration settings in the RE-FX module to ensure that the system is set up correctly for your business processes.
