• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES126 - Cannot unassign MDS; request status is not set to 'Working' ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES126 indicates that there is an issue with unassigning a Material Data Sheet (MDS) because the request status is not set to 'Working'. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with Material Data Sheets and their management.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to unassign an MDS from a material or a request that is not in the 'Working' status. The status of the request must be 'Working' to allow modifications such as unassigning an MDS. If the request is in a different status (e.g., 'Completed', 'In Review', 'Rejected', etc.), the system will prevent any changes to the assignment of MDS.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request you are trying to modify. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report in SAP that displays the status of MDS requests.
  
  
  Change Status to 'Working': If the request is not in 'Working' status, you will need to change it. This may involve:
  
  Editing the request to set it back to 'Working' if your user permissions allow it.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP administrator or the person responsible for managing MDS requests in your organization to assist you in changing the status.
  
  
  
  Unassign MDS: Once the request status is set to 'Working', you should be able to unassign the MDS without encountering the error.
  
  
  Review Workflow: If you frequently encounter this issue, it may be beneficial to review the workflow and processes in place for managing MDS requests to ensure that they are being set to 'Working' when necessary.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to change the status of MDS requests.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for more detailed information on managing MDS and understanding request statuses.
