  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM103 Serial no. &1 and material no. &2 are not contained in the object list typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Asset Management when there is an attempt to reference a serial number and material number that are not recognized in the system's object list. This can happen during various transactions, such as when trying to create or modify maintenance orders, notifications, or other related documents.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Serial Number or Material: The serial number (&1) and material number (&2) you are trying to use may not be correctly registered in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The serial number has not been assigned to the material.
  The material is not defined in the system.
  The serial number is not active or has been deactivated.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Object List: The object list being referenced may not include the specified serial number and material combination. This can occur if the object list is not updated or if there are restrictions on the object list.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing links between the material master and the serial number.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Serial Number and Material:
  
  Check if the serial number exists in the system and is correctly assigned to the material.
  Use transaction codes like IQ03 (Display Serial Number) and MM03 (Display Material) to verify their existence.
  
  
  
  Check Object List:
  
  Ensure that the object list you are working with includes the serial number and material combination. You may need to refresh or regenerate the object list.
  
  
  
  Update Data:
  
  If the serial number is missing or inactive, you may need to create or activate it. Use transaction IQ01 (Create Serial Number) or IQ02 (Change Serial Number) as needed.
  If the material is not defined, create it using transaction MM01 (Create Material).
