• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHSDS_SDS_API010 - Configuration &1 couldn't be saved, since it was changed in the meantime. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHSDS_SDS_API010 indicates that there was an attempt to save a configuration or data related to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in the SAP EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) module, but the system could not save it because the configuration was changed by another user or process in the meantime. This is a common issue in systems where multiple users may be accessing and modifying the same data concurrently.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Modifications: Another user or process has modified the configuration after it was loaded into your session but before you attempted to save it.
  Session Timeout: If your session has been open for a long time, the data may have been updated by another user, leading to a conflict.
  Data Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents saving changes if the data is currently being edited by another user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: Before saving, refresh the data to ensure you are working with the most current version. You can do this by reloading the configuration or navigating away and back to the relevant screen.
  Check for Changes: If possible, check with other users to see if they have made changes to the configuration. This can help you understand what has changed and whether you need to incorporate those changes into your work.
  Reapply Your Changes: After refreshing, reapply your changes and attempt to save again.
  Locking Mechanism: If the system uses a locking mechanism, ensure that you are not trying to save while another user has the data locked. You may need to wait until they finish their changes.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your process to catch this error and provide a user-friendly message or prompt to refresh and try again.
