  The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_FW_IMPORT219 indicates that there is an ambiguity in the supplier part number (SPN) for a specific supplier when trying to search for a material by its Manufacturer Part Number (MPN). This typically occurs in the context of managing materials and suppliers in SAP's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, particularly in the area of material management and procurement.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Supplier Parts: The error arises when there are multiple supplier part numbers associated with the same MPN for a given supplier. This can happen if:
  
  The supplier has provided different part numbers for the same material.
  There are duplicate entries in the system for the same MPN from the same supplier.
  The data in the system is not properly maintained or cleaned, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or inconsistent data entry can lead to multiple records being created for the same MPN, causing ambiguity.

  Solution:
  
  
  Data Review:

  Data Cleanup:
  
  If duplicates are found, determine which entries are valid and remove or consolidate the unnecessary ones.
  Ensure that the supplier part numbers are unique for each MPN to avoid ambiguity.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  Update the supplier and material master data to ensure that the correct part numbers are linked to the appropriate MPNs.
  Ensure that the data is consistent across all relevant records.
