• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EAM_TL_API105 - Equipment and func. loc. (hierarchical) task list cannot be used together ?

  The SAP error message CM_EAM_TL_API105 indicates that there is an issue with the use of equipment and functional location task lists in a hierarchical manner. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a task list that is defined for either equipment or functional locations in a context where both are being used together, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Task List Type: The task list you are trying to use is either an equipment task list or a functional location task list, but not both. SAP does not allow the combination of these two types in a hierarchical structure.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the task lists may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the intended use.
  Hierarchy Misconfiguration: The hierarchy of the task lists may be incorrectly defined, causing the system to misinterpret the relationship between the equipment and functional location.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Task List Type: Ensure that you are using the correct type of task list for your operation. If you are working with equipment, use an equipment task list. If you are working with functional locations, use a functional location task list.
  Separate Task Lists: If you need to use both equipment and functional location task lists, consider separating them into distinct operations or processes where they do not overlap.
  Review Hierarchical Structure: Check the hierarchical structure of your task lists to ensure that they are correctly defined and do not mix equipment and functional location task lists.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to task lists to ensure they are set up correctly. This may involve checking the customizing settings in the SAP Easy Access menu under the relevant modules (e.g., PM - Plant Maintenance).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on task list management and the specific requirements for using equipment and functional location task lists.
