• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES012 - MDS/module is already internally released or published ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES012 indicates that the Material Data Sheet (MDS) or module you are trying to work with has already been internally released or published. This typically occurs in the context of managing product compliance and material data in SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with the International Material Data System (IMDS).
  Cause:
  
  Internal Release or Publication: The MDS or module you are attempting to modify or release has already been marked as released or published in the system. This means that it is no longer in a state that allows for further changes or re-releases without first reverting its status.
  Version Control: The system may have version control mechanisms that prevent changes to a released version of the MDS.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to change the status of the MDS or module.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status: Verify the current status of the MDS or module in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP and checking the status field.
  Revert Status: If you need to make changes, you may need to revert the MDS or module to a draft or editable state. This typically requires administrative permissions or specific roles within the SAP system.
  Create a New Version: If reverting is not possible, consider creating a new version of the MDS or module. This allows you to make the necessary changes without affecting the already published version.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to manage MDS statuses and transitions.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
