How To Fix IH142 - Layout &1 and classification do not intersect

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IH - structuring

• Message number: 142

• Message text: Layout &1 and classification do not intersect

What causes this issue?

You want to display characteristics in a single-level Plant Maintenance
list. You have selected some objects in the list and have switched on
the display of characteristics by choosing <ZK>Settings</> -> <ZK>
Show/Hide Classification</>.
The system issues this message if there are no characteristics that
belong both to the class you selected and to layout &V1&. This can be
due to one of the following reasons:
You have selected more than one class in the selection dialog box. You
saved layout &V1& as the default layout, thus specifying that the system
should display the classification characteristics as defined in layout
&V1&. There are no characteristics that are assigned to the classes you
selected and are also assigned to the default layout &V1&.
You want to display the characteristics of a specific class, so you
chose <ZK>Layout for Characteristics</> and selected layout &V1&.
However, none of the characteristics that belong to the class you
selected are displayed by this layout.

System Response

The system only displays classification characteristics if they not only
belong to the selected classes but also are part of layout &V1&. Since
there are no characteristics that are shared by both the selected
classes and by layout &V1&, the system does not display any
characteristics.

How to fix this error?

Select different classes, select a different layout, or undo the default
setting for layout &V1&. If you do not want to change the selected
classes or the predefined layout, you can choose the <PF>Layout for
Characteristics</> pushbutton to manually copy up to 20 characteristics
from the selected classes to the list.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IH142 - Layout &1 and classification do not intersect ?

  The SAP error message IH142, which states "Layout &1 and classification do not intersect," typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Asset Management when there is an issue with the layout and classification of a technical object, such as a piece of equipment or a functional location.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the layout specified in the transaction does not match the classification assigned to the object. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Mismatch in Layout and Classification: The layout you are trying to use is not compatible with the classification assigned to the object. Each layout is designed to work with specific classes and characteristics.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the layout or the classification system may not be set up correctly, leading to this mismatch.
  Missing Class Assignment: The object may not have the required class assigned to it, or the class may not be linked to the layout.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IH142 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Layout and Classification:
  
  Verify that the layout you are trying to use is indeed compatible with the classification assigned to the object. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Review Object Classification:
  
  Go to the classification view of the object (e.g., equipment or functional location) and ensure that it has the correct class assigned. You can do this using transaction codes like IE03 (Display Equipment) or IL03 (Display Functional Location).
  
  
  
  Adjust Layout Settings:
  
  If necessary, adjust the layout settings to ensure they align with the classification. This may involve modifying the layout or creating a new one that is compatible with the existing classifications.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for the layout and classification in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG). You can navigate to:
  
  Logistics > Plant Maintenance > Maintenance Processing > Technical Objects > Define Layouts.
  
  
  Ensure that the layout is correctly defined and linked to the appropriate classes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to classification and layout management in Plant Maintenance for further insights.
