This error typically arises when there is an attempt to assign a data record (such as an incident or observation) to a deviation that has already been linked to that record.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EHS documentation or user manuals for guidance on how to manage deviations and assignments properly.
  System Configuration: If this error persists and seems to be a system issue, consult with your SAP Basis or EHS support team to check for any configuration issues or bugs in the system.
