  The SAP error message CJ107 indicates that a standard Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element is assigned to a material, which is not allowed in certain contexts. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform an operation that involves a WBS element that is already linked to a material in a way that conflicts with the expected usage of that WBS element.
  Cause:
  
  WBS Element Assignment: The WBS element is assigned to a material (e.g., in a production order or a project) that is not compatible with the operation you are trying to perform.

  Remove Assignment: If the WBS element should not be assigned to the material, you may need to remove the assignment. This can be done in the relevant transaction (e.g., CJ20N for project management).
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that the issue is due to configuration settings, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to WBS elements and order types.
