The message format suggests that the object identified by &1 is already assigned to another object identified by &2. 
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The primary cause of this error is that the object you are trying to assign (e.g., a work center) is already linked to another object (e.g., a production order or another work center).

  Check Existing Assignments: 
  
  Use transaction codes like IW38 (for work orders) or CR02 (for work centers) to check the current assignments of the object in question.

  Unassign or Reassign:
