  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_LOCATION101 indicates that a building (or location) has already been assigned to a specific entity or configuration in the system. This error typically arises in scenarios involving the assignment of buildings to business partners, locations, or other organizational units within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The primary cause of this error is that the building you are trying to assign is already linked to another entity or has been previously assigned in the system.

  Solution:

  Check the existing assignments for the building in question. You can use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or EHFND related transactions to view the current assignments.
  
  
  
  Remove or Modify Existing Assignment:
  
  If the building is assigned to another entity and you need to reassign it, you may need to remove the existing assignment first. Ensure that this action complies with your organization's data management policies.
  If the building should remain assigned to the current entity, consider whether you need to assign a different building instead.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the relevant SAP documentation or configuration guides for your specific module (e.g., SAP EAM, SAP PM) to understand the implications of changing assignments.
