  The SAP error message FMCA_ISR_EN518 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a table form to a specific form type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of Interactive Forms (Adobe Forms) when there is an attempt to assign a table form that has already been assigned to another form type.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The table form you are trying to assign is already linked to another form type. In SAP, each table form can only be assigned to one form type at a time.
