  The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_SUB_BOL112 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the representative and legal entity in the system. This error typically arises in the context of compliance and regulatory reporting, particularly in the area of product safety and environmental health.
  Cause:
  The error message "Only representative must not be identical to the legal entity" suggests that the system has detected that the representative (often a person or organization acting on behalf of another) is set to be the same as the legal entity (the actual entity responsible for compliance). In many regulatory frameworks, the representative and the legal entity must be distinct entities to ensure proper accountability and compliance with regulations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP where the legal entity and representative are defined.
  Ensure that the representative is not set to be the same as the legal entity. You may need to create a separate representative if one does not exist.
  
  
  
  Update Records:
  
  If the representative is indeed the same as the legal entity, update the records to reflect a different representative. This may involve creating a new representative entry in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for both the legal entity and the representative to ensure that all required fields are correctly filled out and that there are no duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or guidelines related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., EH&S, compliance management) to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
