• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHHSS_INC_COMMON123 - Link to same object exists already; Link objects only once ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_INC_COMMON123 indicates that there is an attempt to create a link to an object that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) or similar modules where linking objects (like documents, materials, or other entities) is a common operation.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Link Creation: The error is triggered when there is an attempt to create a link to an object that has already been linked. This can happen if the user or process tries to link the same object multiple times.
  Data Integrity Constraints: The system enforces data integrity rules that prevent the same object from being linked more than once to avoid redundancy and maintain consistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Links: Before attempting to create a new link, check if the object is already linked. You can do this by querying the database or using the relevant transaction codes in SAP to view existing links.
  Remove Existing Link: If you need to create a new link and the existing one is no longer valid, you may need to remove the existing link first. Ensure that this action does not violate any business rules or data integrity constraints.
  Modify the Link: If the intention is to update the existing link rather than create a new one, look for options to modify the existing link instead of creating a new one.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidelines on linking objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes that are relevant to the linking process in your specific SAP module (e.g., EHS).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide insights into similar issues faced by other users and potential fixes.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify links in the system. Sometimes, permission issues can lead to unexpected errors.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
