• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON318 - Assignment has the planned status. Delimitation is not allowed. ?

  The SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON318, which states "Assignment has the planned status. Delimitation is not allowed," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module or similar areas where assignments or contracts are managed. This error indicates that you are trying to delimit (end) an assignment that is currently in a planned status, which is not permitted.
  Cause:
  
  Planned Status: The assignment you are trying to delimit is in a "planned" status, meaning it is not yet finalized or active. In this state, the system does not allow for delimitation because it assumes that the assignment is still subject to change.
  Business Logic: The business rules configured in the system may prevent delimitation of planned assignments to ensure data integrity and prevent accidental changes to assignments that are not yet finalized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Status: If you need to delimit the assignment, you must first change its status from "planned" to a status that allows delimitation (e.g., "active" or "completed"). This may involve finalizing the assignment or making necessary adjustments.
  Review Assignment: Check the details of the assignment to ensure that it is indeed in a planned status and determine if any actions are required to change its status.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines to understand the specific statuses and their implications in your business process.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if the status should not be planned, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a functional consultant for assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP that pertain to assignment management, such as RECN (for contract management) or REIS (for real estate management).
  Status Management: Understand the different statuses that assignments can have in your SAP system and the implications of each status on your ability to perform actions like delimitation.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to change the status of assignments, as certain actions may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your assignment management tasks in SAP.
