• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IL195 - Enter new functional location ?

  The SAP error message IL195, which states "Enter new functional location," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a functional location in the SAP system, but the system requires you to enter a new functional location that does not already exist.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Functional Location: The functional location you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system.
  Incorrect Input: You may have entered an incorrect or incomplete functional location code.
  Hierarchy Issues: If you are trying to create a functional location under a parent that does not exist or is not correctly defined, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Functional Locations: Before creating a new functional location, check if the functional location you are trying to create already exists. You can do this by navigating to the functional location overview in SAP.
  
  
  Enter a Unique Functional Location: If the functional location already exists, you need to enter a different, unique functional location code that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  Verify Hierarchy: Ensure that the parent functional location (if applicable) exists and is correctly defined. If you are trying to create a sub-location, make sure the parent location is valid.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like IL01 (Create Functional Location) or IL02 (Change Functional Location) to manage functional locations. Ensure you are following the correct steps in these transactions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or the structure of functional locations in your organization, consult your internal documentation or SAP guidelines.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify functional locations in the system.
