  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHDGM_BO_CRR080 - &4 The UN Number "&1" is ambiguous. Please provide a list item variant. ?

    The SAP error message CM_EHDGM_BO_CRR080 indicates that there is an issue with the UN (United Nations) number you are trying to use in your SAP system. The error message states that the UN number is ambiguous, which means that there are multiple entries or definitions associated with that particular UN number in the system. This can lead to confusion about which specific item or variant should be used.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate UN Numbers: The UN number you are trying to use may be associated with multiple materials or items in the SAP database.
    2. Missing Item Variants: The system may require a specific item variant to differentiate between the different materials associated with the same UN number.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of hazardous materials management or material master data that lead to ambiguity.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to the Material Master (transaction code MM03) and search for the UN number in question.
      • Review the materials associated with that UN number to identify duplicates or variants.
    2. Define Item Variants:

      • If the UN number is indeed associated with multiple materials, you may need to define item variants to specify which material you are referring to.
      • This can be done in the material master data by creating or modifying the relevant item variants.
    3. Consult with Your Team:

      • Work with your materials management or compliance team to ensure that the UN numbers are correctly assigned and that there are no duplicates.
      • They may need to clean up the data or reassign UN numbers to avoid ambiguity.
    4. SAP Configuration:

      • If necessary, review the configuration settings in SAP related to hazardous materials management to ensure that they are set up correctly.
      • This may involve checking the settings in the Customizing (SPRO) for hazardous materials and UN number management.
    5. Documentation:

      • Ensure that all materials and their associated UN numbers are well-documented to avoid future ambiguities.

    Related Information:

    • UN Numbers: These are four-digit numbers assigned by the United Nations to identify hazardous substances and materials. Each UN number corresponds to a specific substance or group of substances.
    • Hazardous Materials Management: SAP provides tools for managing hazardous materials, including compliance with regulations and proper handling of materials.
    • Material Master: The material master is a central repository of information about materials in SAP, including descriptions, units of measure, and classification data.
