• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1799 - Symbol &1 is in another master repeating group ?

  The SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1799 Symbol &1 is in another master repeating group typically occurs in the context of SAP's Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) or when working with master data that involves repeating groups.

  Solution:
  
  Check Master Data Configuration: Review the configuration of the master data and ensure that the symbols are correctly assigned to their respective repeating groups. Make sure that no symbol is being used in multiple groups unless intended.
  Adjust Repeating Groups: If necessary, modify the repeating groups to ensure that each symbol is uniquely assigned to one group. This may involve reassigning symbols or creating new groups.
  Review BAdI Implementations: If this error arises in the context of a BAdI implementation, check the implementation code to ensure that it is not inadvertently causing conflicts with the master data structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or functionality you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling repeating groups.
