  The SAP error message EHPRC_CP_IMDS_RES149 indicates that a Material Data Sheet (MDS) has already been sent or proposed to the requestor. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with the International Material Data System (IMDS).
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Submission: The most common cause of this error is that the MDS for the material in question has already been submitted to the requestor, either in a previous transaction or by another user.
  Pending Status: The MDS might be in a pending state, meaning it has been proposed but not yet finalized or accepted by the requestor.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that prevent resending of MDS once it has been proposed or sent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Submission History: Review the submission history for the material to confirm whether the MDS has already been sent. This can usually be done through the IMDS interface or relevant transaction codes in SAP.
  Status Review: Check the status of the MDS. If it is pending or in a state that requires action, you may need to follow up with the requestor or take necessary actions to finalize it.
  Communication: If the MDS needs to be resent, communicate with the requestor to clarify the situation. They may need to reject the previous submission or confirm that they are ready to receive it again.
  System Configuration: If you believe this is an error in the system configuration, consult with your SAP EHS administrator or support team to review the settings related to MDS submissions.
