• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAML029 - Length does not equal the distance between start point and end point ?

  The SAP error message EAML029, which states "Length does not equal the distance between start point and end point," typically occurs in the context of Asset Management, particularly when dealing with linear assets or measurements. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the defined length of an asset and the calculated distance between its start and end points.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Length Definition: The length of the asset may have been incorrectly defined in the system.
  Coordinate Mismatch: The coordinates for the start and end points of the asset may not correspond to the defined length.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to inconsistencies in the asset's length and its defined start and end points.
