  Remove Existing Assignment: If the equipment needs to be reassigned, you may need to first remove the existing assignment before making a new one. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction (e.g., IE02 for changing equipment).
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to assign the same equipment to the same recipient multiple times. Review your input data for any errors.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or the configuration, refer to your organization's SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
