• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL200 - List item &1 has a one-way link to the current FMEA ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL200, which states "List item &1 has a one-way link to the current FMEA," typically occurs in the context of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) within the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module. This error indicates that there is a relationship between the FMEA and a list item (such as a failure mode or effect) that is not bidirectional, meaning that the link is only established in one direction.
  Cause:
  
  One-Way Link: The error arises when an item in the FMEA is linked to another object (like a process step or a failure mode) but that object does not have a corresponding link back to the FMEA. This can happen due to improper configuration or data entry.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or relationships defined in the system, leading to one-way links that violate the expected bidirectional relationship.
  System Configuration: The configuration settings for FMEA or related objects may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Links: Review the links between the FMEA and the related items. Ensure that all items that should be linked to the FMEA have a corresponding link back to it.
  Update Relationships: If you find that there are missing links, you may need to manually create the necessary relationships to establish a bidirectional link.
  Data Consistency Check: Run a data consistency check in the PLM module to identify and rectify any inconsistencies in the FMEA data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing FMEA links and relationships.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
