• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS854 - EQUI change: Client & started ?

  The SAP error message IS854 "EQUI change: Client & started" typically occurs when there is an attempt to change equipment data in a client that is not the original client where the equipment was created. This error is related to the way SAP handles data consistency and client-specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific Data: In SAP, certain data is client-specific, meaning that it is only valid within a particular client. If you try to change equipment data in a different client than the one where it was originally created, you will encounter this error.
  Cross-Client Changes: The system restricts changes to ensure data integrity and consistency across different clients.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Client: Verify that you are in the correct client where the equipment was originally created. You can do this by checking the client number in the SAP GUI.
  Use Correct Client: If you need to make changes to the equipment, switch to the correct client where the equipment exists.
  Transport Requests: If you need to move equipment data from one client to another, consider using transport requests to move the necessary changes instead of trying to change the data directly in the wrong client.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the client you are working in.
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on equipment management for more details on how client-specific data is handled and best practices for managing equipment across different clients.
