• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ER072 - There is already an entry without voltage level ?

  The SAP error message ER072 ("There is already an entry without voltage level") typically occurs in the context of managing electrical data in SAP, particularly when dealing with equipment or functional locations in the SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) or SAP EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) modules. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an entry that conflicts with existing entries that do not have a specified voltage level.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to create a new entry (like a piece of equipment or a functional location) that does not specify a voltage level, while there is already an existing entry without a voltage level.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data where multiple entries are expected to have voltage levels, but some do not.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured in a way that requires all entries to have a voltage level, and the new entry does not comply with this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries in the system to identify if there are already entries without a voltage level. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like IE02 for changing equipment or IL02 for changing functional locations) and checking the details.
  Add Voltage Level: If possible, add a voltage level to the existing entries that do not have one. This can help resolve the conflict.
  Modify New Entry: If you are trying to create a new entry, ensure that you provide a voltage level. If the entry is not supposed to have a voltage level, you may need to check the configuration settings or consult with your SAP administrator.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with to understand the requirements for voltage levels.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IE01 (Create Equipment), IE02 (Change Equipment), IL01 (Create Functional Location), and IL02 (Change Functional Location).
  Data Model: Understand the data model related to equipment and functional locations in SAP, especially how voltage levels are defined and used.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to equipment or functional locations in the system.
  Testing: After making changes, test the entries to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide more in-depth assistance.
