Summary :
When using function modules EQUIPMENT_INSTALL_PREPARE and EQUIPMENT_DISMANTLE_PREPARE to manage equipment installations and dismantlements within SAP environments, users may encounter premature error messages due to missing authorizations. These errors, irrelevant to the actual installation or dismantling processes, are prompted by a defect in program design leading to an unintended display of a selection screen in API contexts. The resolution involves applying a program correction available through manual implementation or via Support Package. Prerequisites include specific prior notes depending on the system release version.
