• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW618 - Functional location task list & & has already been included ?

  The SAP error message IW618 indicates that a functional location task list has already been included in the system. This typically occurs when you attempt to assign a task list to a functional location that has already been associated with that task list.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The task list you are trying to assign to the functional location is already linked to that location.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to prevent duplicate entries to maintain data integrity and avoid confusion in maintenance planning.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IW618 error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Task List Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the task list configuration is correct and that you are not unintentionally trying to assign the same task list multiple times.
