• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSH_EAM_ASSIGNMENT002 - &1: Operation is already in process ?

  The SAP error message RSH_EAM_ASSIGNMENT002 with the text "Operation is already in process" typically occurs in the context of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) when there is an attempt to assign or process an operation that is already being handled or is in a status that does not allow for further processing.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The operation you are trying to work with is already being processed by another user or transaction. This can happen in environments where multiple users are working on the same operations simultaneously.
  Status Issues: The operation may be in a status that does not allow for the action you are trying to perform. For example, if the operation is already confirmed or completed, you may not be able to assign it again.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If an operation is locked by another transaction, you will receive this error when trying to access it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Concurrent Users: Verify if another user is currently processing the same operation. You can check transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks) or SM21 (to view system logs) to identify if the operation is locked by another user.
  Review Operation Status: Check the status of the operation in question. If it is already in a completed or confirmed state, you may need to adjust your approach based on the current status.
  Wait and Retry: If the operation is locked by another user, you may need to wait until that user completes their transaction. After some time, try to perform the action again.
  Transaction Monitoring: Use transaction codes like IW38 or IW39 to monitor the operations and their statuses. This can help you identify any issues with the operations you are trying to work with.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to EAM for specific guidelines on handling operations and their statuses.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IW31 (Create Order), IW32 (Change Order), IW33 (Display Order), and others related to EAM.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP may have bugs that are documented in SAP Notes.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions on the operation. Lack of proper authorizations can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to contact your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
