• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECETM096 - &1: Asset &2 is also assigned to &3 with the same AP ?

  The SAP error message RECETM096 indicates that an asset (identified by &2) is already assigned to another object (identified by &3) with the same asset number (AP). This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when trying to assign an asset to a new location or object while it is still linked to another one.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The asset is already assigned to another cost center, internal order, or another object in the system.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an attempt to assign the asset to a new object without properly unassigning it from the previous one.
  Configuration Issues: There might be issues in the configuration of asset accounting that prevent the assignment of the asset to multiple objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes like AS03 (Display Asset) to check the current assignments of the asset. Look for the object to which the asset is currently assigned.
  
  
  
  Unassign the Asset:
  
  If the asset needs to be moved to a new object, you must first unassign it from the current object. This can typically be done using transaction codes like ABAVN (Transfer within the same company code) or ABUMN (Transfer within the same company code).
  
  
  
  Reassign the Asset:
  
  After unassigning, you can then proceed to assign the asset to the new object using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., ABUMN or ABT1N).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific procedures related to asset transfers and assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that there are no restrictions or settings that prevent the assignment of assets.
