• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J117 - Please do not enter a procurement type for own equipment ?

  The SAP error message 9J117 ("Please do not enter a procurement type for own equipment") typically occurs in the context of asset management or equipment management within SAP. This error indicates that the system has detected an inconsistency in the procurement type settings for an asset or equipment that is classified as "own equipment."
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to assign a procurement type to an asset or equipment that is already designated as "own equipment." In SAP, "own equipment" typically refers to assets that are owned by the organization and do not require a procurement type (like purchasing or leasing) because they are not procured externally.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Equipment Master Data:

  Verify the settings for the equipment in question. Ensure that the procurement type is not set or is set to a value that is appropriate for own equipment.
  
  
  
  Remove Procurement Type:
  
  If a procurement type has been mistakenly assigned, remove it. The procurement type field should be left blank for own equipment.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings, consult with your SAP configuration team or refer to the relevant documentation to understand how procurement types are managed for equipment.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
