How To Fix AAPM008 - No unique assignment of asset class &3 to equip.categ. &1 and obj.type &2

AAPM008 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AAPM - Integration PM with FI-AA

• Message number: 008

• Message text: No unique assignment of asset class &3 to equip.categ. &1 and obj.type &2

What causes this issue?

The combination of equipment category &V1& and object type &V2& is
assigned to more than one asset class.

System Response

The system allows this.
However, problems can arise if the system is supposed to automatically
create an asset at runtime from an equipment master record that has
equipment category &V1& and object type &V2&. Then the system is
usually able to determine neither the asset class nor settings for the
synchronization during future master data changes. In that case, the
system triggers a workflow for creating the asset.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you need to have a clear assignment to one asset class.
If this is the case, change the assignment in Customizing. It is also
possible to use the customer exit designed for this purpose to
determine the asset class at runtime.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
