• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/SAB031 - Meanwhile another user assigned equipment &1 to site &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/SAB031 indicates that the equipment identified by &1 is already assigned to another site &2 by a different user.

  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like IE03 (Display Equipment) to check the status of the equipment and its current assignments.
  Lock Management: If you suspect a session lock, you can check for active sessions using transaction SM12 and see if there are any locks on the equipment. If necessary, you can release the lock, but this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to equipment assignment in your organization.
  
  Related Information:
