• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY117 - No measuring points exist for the equipment assigned ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY117 - No measuring points exist for the equipment assigned
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a notification, order, or measurement document that references an equipment, but there are no measuring points assigned or created for that equipment in the system. Measuring points are necessary for recording measurements related to equipment in Plant Maintenance (PM).
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP Plant Maintenance, measuring points are used to record measurement readings (e.g., temperature, pressure) for equipment.
  If you attempt to enter measurement readings or create a measurement document for equipment that does not have any measuring points assigned, the system will throw this error.
  The system expects at least one measuring point linked to the equipment to proceed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check if measuring points exist for the equipment:
  
  Use transaction IK01 (Create Measuring Point) or IK02 (Change Measuring Point) to verify if measuring points exist for the equipment.
  Alternatively, use IL03 (Display Equipment) and check the measuring points tab or related data.
  
  
  
  Create measuring points if none exist:
  
  If no measuring points exist, create them using IK01.
  Assign the measuring points to the equipment.
  Ensure the measuring points are properly maintained with relevant characteristics and units of measure.
  
  
  
  Verify equipment assignment:
  
  Confirm that the equipment number you are using is correct and active.
  Check if the equipment is correctly linked to the functional location or notification/order.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Ensure that the equipment category and measurement document types are correctly configured to allow measuring points.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Measuring points are essential for capturing measurement readings in PM.
  Measuring points can be created manually or generated automatically during equipment creation if configured.
  If you are working with notifications or orders, ensure that the equipment assigned to them has measuring points if you intend to record measurements.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the equipment was recently created but measuring points were not yet created or assigned.
