  The SAP error message IR716 "No measurement position &2 exists for object &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Industry Solution (IS) modules, particularly when dealing with measuring points or measurement documents. This error indicates that the system cannot find a measurement position (or measuring point) associated with the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Measurement Position: The measurement position (e.g., a measuring point) you are trying to access or record data for does not exist in the system for the specified object (e.g., equipment, functional location).
  Incorrect Object Reference: The object reference (e.g., equipment number or functional location) may be incorrect or not properly defined in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing or incorrectly configured measurement points.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the measurement position.

  Check Measurement Position: Verify that the measurement position (measuring point) exists for the specified object. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., IL03 for functional locations or IE03 for equipment) and checking the measurement points associated with the object.
  Create Measurement Position: If the measurement position does not exist, you may need to create it. Use transaction code IK01 to create a new measuring point for the relevant object.
  Verify Object Reference: Ensure that the object reference you are using is correct. Double-check the equipment number or functional location to ensure it is valid and active.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the measurement positions. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
