• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAN_UCC093 - Object &1 &2 is already assigned another GLN; see long text ?

  The SAP error message EAN_UCC093 indicates that the object you are trying to assign a Global Location Number (GLN) to is already associated with another GLN. This typically occurs in scenarios involving the management of locations, such as warehouses, plants, or other entities that require unique identification through GLNs.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The object (e.g., a plant, warehouse, or business partner) is already linked to a different GLN in the system.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error during data entry, leading to an attempt to assign a GLN that is already in use.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to allow multiple GLNs for the same object, leading to this conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the database tables (e.g., EAN or GLN) for existing GLN assignments to the object in question.
  Identify the GLN currently assigned to the object and verify if it is correct.
  
  
  
  Reassign GLN:
  
  If the current GLN is incorrect or outdated, you may need to remove the existing assignment before assigning the new GLN.
  Ensure that the new GLN is valid and not already assigned to another object.
