SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RE_PR - Third Party/Owner Occupied Management

• Message number: 003

• Message text: The COA mandate is not unique in the specified object hierarchy

<ZH>&CAUSE&</>
You are processing an <ZH>assessment contract</>. This contract must
refer uniquely to a <ZH>Condominium Owners Association contract</> (the
<ZH>rental unit</> assigned to the assessment contract must belong to a
<ZH>business entity</> for which a Condominium Owner Association
mandate (COA contract) exists).
The assignment for the assessment contract in question is not unique.
This means there could be several Condominium Owners Association
mandates within the object hierarchy. Consequently the system cannot
determine uniquely to which COA mandate the current assessment contract
belongs.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check the hierarchy of Real Estate objects and the related contracts
(COA contract, assessment contracts) and correct the object assignment
in the contracts as required.
