• Message text: Combination partner ID &1, cred.type &2 and cred.description &3 locked

What causes this issue?

While attempting to lock the combination of partner ID &v1&,
<DS:GLOS.44B20C2B4AE64888E10000000A1553FE>credential type </> &v2& and
<DS:GLOS.44B0EE2DD54B5062E10000000A1553FE>credential description </>
&v3& , the system determined that this combination is already locked.
The lock had to be set because credential type &v2& for assignments was
defined in Customizing as not being intended for mutiple assignments
(table TCRD_TYPE). That means that the combination of credential type
and credential description can only be assigned once to a partner.

System Response

All assignments of the combination of credential type &v2& and
credential description &v3& will not be created on the database.

How to fix this error?

Try to create the assignments later on.
