• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES122 - You are not the owner of this MDS ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES122 indicates that a user is attempting to access or modify a Material Data Sheet (MDS) in the IMDS (International Material Data System) but does not have the necessary ownership rights to do so. This typically occurs in environments where MDS ownership is strictly enforced to ensure that only authorized users can make changes to specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Ownership Restrictions: The user trying to access the MDS is not the owner of that particular MDS. In IMDS, each MDS is associated with a specific user or organization, and only the owner can edit or delete it.
  User Role and Permissions: The user may not have the appropriate roles or permissions assigned in the SAP system or IMDS to access or modify the MDS.
  Data Locking: The MDS might be locked by another user or process, preventing access.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Ownership: Check who the owner of the MDS is. If you need to make changes, you may need to contact the owner or the administrator to request access or ownership transfer.
  Request Permissions: If you believe you should have access, contact your system administrator to review your user roles and permissions in the SAP system and IMDS.
  Use the Correct User Account: Ensure that you are logged in with the correct user account that has ownership or the necessary permissions to access the MDS.
  Check for Locks: If the MDS is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked it to request access.
