• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES138 - You cannot add or modify supplier data; MDS is in handshake mode ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES138 indicates that you are trying to add or modify supplier data in the Material Data Sheet (MDS) system while it is in "handshake mode." This mode typically means that the system is in a state where it is synchronizing or communicating with another system, and changes to supplier data are temporarily restricted to ensure data integrity.
  
  Cause:
  
  Handshake Mode: The MDS is in a handshake mode, which is often used during data synchronization or when the system is preparing to exchange data with another system (like a supplier or a regulatory body).
  Data Integrity: The system prevents modifications to ensure that no conflicting changes occur during this critical synchronization phase.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Handshake Completion: The simplest solution is to wait until the handshake process is completed. Once the system exits handshake mode, you should be able to add or modify supplier data.
