• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAML015 - Non-linear technical objects are deleted from selection ?

  The SAP error message EAML015, which states "Non-linear technical objects are deleted from selection," typically occurs in the context of Asset Management or Plant Maintenance modules when dealing with technical objects that have a non-linear relationship. This can happen when you are trying to perform operations on a selection of technical objects that are not compatible with the expected linear structure.
  Cause:
  
  Non-linear Relationships: The error is often triggered when the system detects that some of the selected technical objects (like equipment or functional locations) have non-linear relationships, which means they cannot be processed together in the same operation.

  Data Consistency Check: Run data consistency checks to identify and resolve any issues with the technical objects. This can often be done through transaction codes like OIAD or similar tools in SAP.
