This error typically arises when you attempt to assign a sub-account to a futures account that is already associated with that sub-account for the specified DCS/MIC.
  Cause:

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the assignment of sub-accounts to futures accounts in a certain way.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Assignments: Review the current assignments of the futures account to see if the sub-account is already linked. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration or master data transaction in SAP.
  Remove Duplicate Assignment: If you find that the sub-account is already assigned and you need to make a change, you may need to remove the existing assignment before creating a new one.
  Use a Different Sub-Account: If the intention is to assign a different sub-account, ensure that you are using a sub-account that is not already linked to the futures account for the specified DCS/MIC.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing futures accounts and sub-accounts, as there may be additional rules or configurations that apply.
