  The SAP error message EAML054 indicates that there is an issue with the object type being used in a transaction or function related to Equipment or Functional Locations. Specifically, this error message states that only the object tables EQUI (Equipment) or IFLOT (Functional Location) are allowed in the context where the error occurred.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  An incorrect object type is being referenced in a transaction or function that expects either Equipment (EQUI) or Functional Location (IFLOT).

  Solution:
  To resolve the EAML054 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Type: Ensure that the object type you are trying to use is either Equipment (EQUI) or Functional Location (IFLOT). If you are using a different object type, you will need to modify your approach to use one of the allowed types.
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If this error occurs in a custom program or enhancement, review the code to ensure that it is correctly referencing the EQUI or IFLOT tables. Look for any hardcoded object types or incorrect joins that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  Transaction Context: Verify that you are in the correct transaction context that supports the use of EQUI or IFLOT. If you are in a transaction that does not support these object types, you may need to switch to a different transaction.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or function you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
