• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS024 - Data was copied from the superior piece of equipment ?

  The SAP error message IS024, which states "Data was copied from the superior piece of equipment," typically occurs in the context of equipment management within the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module. This message indicates that the system has detected that certain data for the equipment you are trying to create or modify has been inherited from a superior (or parent) piece of equipment.
