What causes this issue?

You want to migrate a location that has an assigned link to an equipment
or a functional location in <LS>Plant Maintenance</> (PM). However, a PM
link to the same equipment or functional location is already assigned to
another location on the target system.
You can link only one location (irrelevant of the revision period) to a
particular equipment or functional location in PM.

System Response

The system cannot migrate the location and assign the PM link to it.

How to fix this error?

You can either delete the existing PM link to the equipment or
functional location in the target system or you can remove the link from
the migrated location.
If you import locations from non-SAP system, remove the functional
location ID or the equipment ID from the CSV file that you use to import
the locations.
If you import locations from a component extension for <LS>SAP EHS
Management</> system or another <LS>Environment, Health, and Safety</>
system, before you export the locations to a CSV file, remove the PM
link of the problematic location.
