EAM Corner: Why do I get the error BMXAA0773E in revision 0 of contract?
Body
Welcome to the EAM Corner!!!!

Have you ever tried to associate an asset to two contracts and the system displays the error: BMXAA0773E - This asset is already present in revision 0 of contract?
If you have then this blog will show why that happens.
Following steps have been used to reproduce the issue:
1. Log into Maximo.
2. Go to the Lease/Rental Contracts.
3. Create a new contract.
4. Go to the Associated Assets tab and associate assets to the contract.
5. Create another new contract.
6. Go to Associated Assets tab and associate the same assets as in the first contract.
7. Then, the message shows : BMXAA0773E : This asset is already present in revision 0 of contract .
Resolving the problem
Unfortunately this is working as designed. :-(
The same asset cant be on two approved contracts, whose start and end dates are different. It can be on one contract that is for this year, ending 12/31/15 - and another WSTART contract that begins 1/1/16....
Thanks for reading, be sure to look out for my next installment.
