• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY085 - Master warranty &1 has already been assigned to the component ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY085 - Master warranty &1 has already been assigned to the component
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a master warranty to a component in a piece of equipment or functional location, but the same master warranty is already assigned to that component. In SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS) modules, each component can have only one instance of a particular master warranty assigned. Attempting to assign the same warranty again leads to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Master Warranty: A predefined warranty condition or agreement that can be assigned to equipment or components.
  Component: A part or sub-equipment within a main equipment or functional location.
  The system prevents duplicate assignment of the same warranty to avoid redundancy and data inconsistency.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Warranty Assignments:
  
  Go to the equipment/component master record.
  Navigate to the warranty tab or warranty assignment section.
  Verify if the master warranty &1 (the warranty number shown in the error) is already assigned.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Assignment:
  
  If the warranty is already assigned, do not assign it again.
  If you intended to assign a different warranty, select the correct master warranty.
  
  
  
  If You Need to Change or Update:
  
  Remove the existing warranty assignment if it is incorrect or outdated.
  Then assign the correct master warranty.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizing or User Exits:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or user exits might cause multiple assignments.
  Review any custom logic related to warranty assignment.
