• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J520 - Function impossible. Perf.-based equi. docs exist for equi./rcpnt &/& ?

  The SAP error message 9J520 indicates that a function is impossible because performance-based equipment documents exist for the equipment or recipient. This typically occurs in the context of equipment management or maintenance processes where performance-based documents (like maintenance plans or work orders) are linked to the equipment or recipient in question.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to perform an action (like deleting or changing an equipment record) that is not allowed because there are existing performance-based documents associated with that equipment or recipient. This is a safeguard to prevent data inconsistencies or loss of important records.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Documents: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IW38 (for work orders) or IP24 (for maintenance plans) to check if there are any active performance-based documents linked to the equipment or recipient.
  
  
  
  Review Equipment/Recipient Status:
  
  Ensure that the equipment or recipient is not currently in use or linked to any ongoing processes. You may need to complete or close any open documents before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Delete or Change Documents:
  
  If you find that there are documents that can be deleted or changed, do so carefully. Make sure that you are not violating any business processes or data integrity rules.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or changing documents, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like IE02 (Change Equipment) or IE03 (Display Equipment) to manage equipment records, but ensure that you have resolved any dependencies first.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to equipment management and performance-based planning to understand the implications of the error.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to equipment or performance-based documents.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
