• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IQ126 - Material &1 exists in another IBase ?

  The SAP error message IQ126, which states "Material &1 exists in another IBase," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Industry Solution for Pharmaceuticals (SAP IS-P) or similar modules where materials are managed in relation to an Installation Base (IBase). This error indicates that the material you are trying to work with is already associated with a different IBase, which can lead to conflicts in data management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Material Already Assigned: The material you are trying to assign or manipulate is already linked to another Installation Base (IBase). This can happen if the material is being used in a different context or system.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent the same material from being associated with multiple IBases simultaneously, which could lead to inconsistencies in inventory and tracking.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Assignments: Verify which IBase the material is currently assigned to. You can do this by using transaction codes like IQ01
