• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG107 - Device &1 cannot be included because device allocations exist ?

  The SAP error message EG107 indicates that a specific device (in this case, represented by &1) cannot be included in a certain operation or process because there are existing device allocations associated with it. This typically occurs in scenarios involving device management, such as when trying to allocate or reallocate devices in a system where they are already assigned to other tasks or processes.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to device management in your version of SAP.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
