  Check Existing Links: Review the existing links for Item &1 to determine where it is currently linked. You can do this by navigating to the relevant sourcing or purchasing documents in SAP.
  Unlink the Item: If it is necessary to link Item &1 to the new project or sourcing document, you may need to unlink it from the existing one first. This can usually be done in the sourcing project or purchasing document where the item is currently linked.
  Use a Different Item: If unlinking is not an option or if the item must remain linked to the original project, consider using a different item for the new project or sourcing document.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing sourcing projects to ensure compliance with internal processes.
  
  Related Information:
