• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHCSM_SPC_API_CMN011 - Multiple instances of &1 saved without errors ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHCSM_SPC_API_CMN011 indicates that multiple instances of a specific object (denoted by &1) have been saved without errors. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with the management of hazardous substances or similar data.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The error often occurs when the system detects that multiple instances of the same object (e.g., a chemical substance, safety data sheet, etc.) are being saved. This could be due to user actions or system processes that inadvertently create duplicates.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the EHS module that allow for multiple entries to be saved without proper validation.
  Data Import/Upload: If data is being imported or uploaded into the system, it may lead to multiple instances being created if the import logic does not handle duplicates correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the entries in the system to identify if there are indeed multiple instances of the object. If duplicates are found, determine which instance should be retained and delete the others.
  Validation Rules: Implement or enhance validation rules in the system to prevent the saving of duplicate entries. This may involve adjusting the configuration settings in the EHS module.
  Data Cleanup: If the error is due to a data import, consider cleaning up the data source to ensure that duplicates are removed before the import process.
  Review Custom Code: If there is any custom code or enhancements in place, review them to ensure they are not inadvertently allowing multiple instances to be saved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
