• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS084 - Partner DetermProced. different: change of EquipCat. not allowed ?

  The SAP error message IS084 ("Partner Determination Procedure different: Change of EquipCat. not allowed") typically occurs in the context of equipment management or partner determination processes within SAP. This error indicates that there is an attempt to change the equipment category of an equipment master record, which is not allowed due to the partner determination procedure being different.
  Cause:
  
  Equipment Category Change: The error is triggered when there is an attempt to change the equipment category of an existing equipment record. In SAP, certain attributes, including the equipment category, are often tied to specific partner determination procedures.
  Partner Determination Procedure: Each equipment category can have its own partner determination procedure. If the equipment category is changed, it may lead to inconsistencies in the partner data associated with that equipment.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict changes to the equipment category if there are existing partner relationships that depend on the current category.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Equipment Category: Check if the equipment category needs to be changed. If it is not necessary, consider keeping the existing category.
  Create New Equipment: If a change in the equipment category is essential, consider creating a new equipment record with the desired category instead of modifying the existing one.
  Adjust Partner Determination Procedure: If you have the necessary authorizations, review and adjust the partner determination procedures associated with the equipment categories. Ensure that the new category aligns with the required partner determination settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the implications of changing equipment categories and the associated partner determination procedures.
  Check Customizations: If your organization has customizations in place, check with your SAP technical team to see if any custom logic is affecting the ability to change the equipment category.
