• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW925 - Where-used list only possible if you specify the technical object ?

  The SAP error message IW925 ("Where-used list only possible if you specify the technical object") typically occurs when you attempt to generate a where-used list for a technical object (like a maintenance order, equipment, or functional location) without specifying the required technical object in the transaction.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system requires a specific technical object to generate a where-used list. This is necessary for the system to identify the relationships and dependencies associated with that object. If you do not provide a technical object, the system cannot proceed with the request.

  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you specify a valid technical object when trying to generate the where-used list. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Technical Object: Determine which technical object you want to analyze (e.g., equipment number, functional location, or maintenance order).
  
  
  Enter the Technical Object: In the transaction where you are trying to generate the where-used list (such as IW28, IW29, or IW33), make sure to enter the relevant technical object in the appropriate field.
  
  
  Execute the Transaction: After entering the technical object, execute the transaction again to generate the where-used list.
