• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHCSM_SPC_API_CMN033 - Overwriting of inherited valuation instance is not possible ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHCSM_SPC_API_CMN033 with the description "Overwriting of inherited valuation instance is not possible" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with valuation instances in the context of substance and product safety.
  
  Cause:
  This error generally arises when there is an attempt to modify or overwrite a valuation instance that has been inherited from a higher-level object or template. In SAP EHS, valuation instances can be inherited from parent objects, and the system restricts direct modifications to these inherited instances to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Inheritance Settings: Review the settings of the object you are trying to modify. Ensure that you are not attempting to change an inherited valuation instance directly.
  
  
  Create a New Valuation Instance: Instead of trying to overwrite the inherited instance, create a new valuation instance that is not inherited.
