• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ_B084 - Location type &1 is of type competitor. No competitor assignment allowed. ?

  The SAP error message OQ_B084 indicates that there is an issue with the location type being used in a particular transaction or process. Specifically, it states that the location type you are trying to use is classified as a "competitor," and therefore, it cannot be assigned in the context you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Location Type Configuration: The location type you are trying to use is configured as a competitor in the system. This means that it is not intended for the type of transaction you are attempting to perform.
  Incorrect Assignment: You may be trying to assign a competitor location type to a process that requires a different type of location (e.g., a customer or supplier location).

  Change the location type to a valid type for your transaction (e.g., customer, supplier).
  Create a new location with the appropriate type if necessary.
  
  
  Review Transaction Context: Ensure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for the location type you are using. If you are trying to perform a transaction that is not allowed for competitor types, you will need to adjust your approach.
