  The SAP error message RECETM037 indicates that an asset is assigned to two different objects simultaneously, which is not allowed in the system. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting or asset management when an asset is being assigned to multiple cost centers, internal orders, or projects at the same time.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An asset is mistakenly assigned to more than one object (e.g., cost center, internal order, or project).

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Assignments:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03).
  Review the assignments of the asset in question (Asset &2) to see if it is indeed assigned to both objects (&3 and &4).

  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration settings in the asset accounting module do not allow for multiple assignments if that is not the intended behavior.
  Check the settings for the relevant object types to ensure they align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to asset accounting for any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding asset assignments.
