  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2481 indicates that there is an issue with the object model in the SAP system, specifically related to the relationships between software components and their predecessors. This error typically arises when you are trying to establish a relationship between objects, but the system detects that the object you are trying to link is already a predecessor of another object.
