• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHSDS_BO_OR060 - SDS is not shipped. The recipient "&1" already has SDS major version &2. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHSDS_BO_OR060 indicates that a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is not being shipped because the recipient already has the major version of the SDS that is being attempted to be sent. This is a part of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, which manages compliance with safety regulations and the distribution of safety data sheets.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to send an SDS to a recipient who already possesses the same major version of that SDS.
  The system is designed to prevent the duplication of SDS versions being sent to the same recipient, as it may not be necessary or compliant with the versioning rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing SDS Versions:
  
  Verify the existing SDS versions that the recipient currently has. You can do this by checking the SDS records in the system for that specific recipient.
  
  
  
  Update the SDS:
  
  If there is a need to send an updated version of the SDS, ensure that the major version has been incremented. You may need to make changes to the SDS content and save it as a new major version.
  
  
  
  Send the Correct Version:
  
  If the recipient does not need the SDS again, you may choose not to send it. Alternatively, if they require a different version, ensure that you are sending the correct version that they do not already have.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP EHS documentation for guidelines on versioning and distribution of SDS to ensure compliance with your organization’s policies.
