• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHFND_REG_LIST_MSG022 - Only a new revision can copy the data from a released revision ?

  The SAP error message EHFND_REG_LIST_MSG022 indicates that there is an issue related to the revision management of a document or object in the SAP system. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to copy data from a released revision to another revision that is not a new one. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Revision Management: In SAP, documents or objects can have multiple revisions. A released revision is one that has been finalized and is no longer subject to changes. The system restricts copying data from a released revision to ensure data integrity and compliance with version control.
  Incorrect Copying Attempt: The error typically arises when a user tries to copy data from a released revision to an existing revision that is not marked as a new revision.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a New Revision: To resolve this error, you need to create a new revision of the document or object you are working with. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction code or application in SAP.
  
  Navigate to the document or object in question.
  Look for an option to create a new revision (this may vary depending on the specific module you are using).
  Once the new revision is created, you should be able to copy the data from the released revision without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check Revision Status: Ensure that you are aware of the status of the revisions you are working with. If you are trying to copy data, make sure that the target revision is indeed a new one and not an existing released or in-progress revision.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process of creating a new revision or the specific steps to take, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the module you are using. This can provide guidance on revision management.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Modules: This error can occur in various SAP modules that utilize revision management, such as SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or SAP EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety).
  Version Control: Understanding how version control works in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of released and unreleased revisions, as well as how to manage them effectively.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create new revisions and copy data. If you lack the required authorizations, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
