• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KZ164 - Maximum number of single objects reached - no more assignments possible ?

  The SAP error message KZ164: Maximum number of single objects reached - no more assignments possible typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when you try to assign more objects (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) than the system allows. This limit is set to ensure system performance and manageability.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: Each cost center, internal order, or other objects have a predefined limit on the number of assignments that can be made. When you exceed this limit, the system generates the KZ164 error.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of assignments is defined in the system configuration. If your business processes require more assignments than allowed, you will encounter this error.
  Data Integrity Issues: Sometimes, data integrity issues or incorrect configurations can lead to unexpected behavior, including hitting the maximum limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Assignments: Check the current assignments for the object in question. If there are unnecessary or redundant assignments, consider removing them to free up space.
  Increase Limits: If your business processes require more assignments, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the configuration settings in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Navigating to the relevant section for cost center accounting or internal orders.
  Increasing the maximum number of allowed assignments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  Testing: After making changes, ensure to test the system thoroughly to confirm that the changes resolve the issue without introducing new problems.
