Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COLL_PR_MSG006 - The selected contact &1 &2 is already assigned as default contact person. ?

  The SAP error message COLL_PR_MSG006 indicates that the contact person you are trying to assign as the default contact is already set as the default contact for another entity (such as a customer, vendor, or business partner). This restriction is in place to ensure that each entity has a unique default contact person.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The contact person you are trying to assign is already marked as the default contact for another entity in the system.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces rules to maintain data integrity, which prevents the same contact from being the default for multiple entities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Assignments:
  
  Review the current assignments of the contact person in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., Business Partner, Customer, or Vendor) and checking the contact details.
  
  
  
  Change Default Contact:
  
  If the contact person is already assigned as the default for another entity, you will need to either:
  
  Change the default contact for that entity to another contact person.
  Remove the default assignment from the other entity if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign a Different Contact:
  
  If you cannot change the existing default assignment, consider assigning a different contact person as the default for the entity you are working with.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific instructions on managing contact assignments, as the process may vary based on your SAP version and configuration.
