EAML055 - Details

• The SAP error message EAML055, which states "No linear characteristics are assigned to the technical object," typically occurs in the context of Asset Management or Plant Maintenance modules when dealing with technical objects that are expected to have linear characteristics (such as measurements or dimensions) assigned to them.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Linear Characteristics: The technical object (e.g., equipment, functional location) does not have any linear characteristics defined in the system.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the technical object may not have been set up correctly to include linear characteristics.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an oversight during the data entry process where linear characteristics were not assigned to the technical object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Linear Characteristics:
  
  Navigate to the technical object in question (e.g., equipment or functional location).
  Go to the relevant tab or section where linear characteristics can be assigned.
  Add the necessary linear characteristics that are required for the object.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the
