  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE097: Material group &2 already assigned to keyword &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a material group to a keyword in the SAP system, but the material group is already assigned to that keyword. In other words, the system prevents duplicate assignments of the same material group to the same keyword.
  
  Material group: A classification used to group materials with similar characteristics.
  Keyword: A search term or classification keyword used in material master or classification.
  
  The system checks for existing assignments and throws this error if the combination already exists.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the assignment of material groups to keywords in classification or search help configuration.
  While maintaining material master data or classification data.
  When customizing or configuring material group assignments in SAP Logistics or MM (Materials Management) module.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check existing assignments:
  
  Verify if the material group is already assigned to the keyword.
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or classification transactions such as CL20N (Change Class) to check existing assignments.
  
  
  
  Avoid duplicate entries:
  
  If the assignment already exists, do not try to assign it again.
  If you intended to assign a different material group or keyword, correct the entries accordingly.
  
  
  
  Correct the data input:
  
  Ensure that the material group and keyword you are trying to assign are unique combinations.
  If you want to assign the material group to a different keyword, use the correct keyword.
  
  
  
  If necessary, remove the existing assignment:
  
  If the existing assignment is incorrect or obsolete, delete it first before creating a new assignment.
