• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK098 - Product is plant-dependent or uses more than one active instance ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK098 indicates that there is an issue related to the product configuration in the context of plant-dependent data or multiple active instances. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or similar modules where products are managed across different plants or instances.
  Cause:
  
  Plant-Dependent Data: The product in question may have data that is specific to a particular plant, and the system is unable to determine which plant's data to use.
  Multiple Active Instances: The product might have multiple active instances in the system, which can lead to confusion about which instance should be used for processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the product across different plants or instances, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Configuration:
  
  Review the product master data to ensure that it is correctly configured for the relevant plants. Make sure that the plant-dependent data is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that there is only one active instance of the product for the relevant plant.
  
  
  
  Review Active Instances:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to check the active instances of the product.
  If there are multiple active instances, determine which one should be the primary instance and deactivate or archive the others if necessary.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the system to identify any discrepancies in the product data across different plants.
  Use transaction codes like C223 (Change BOM) or C201 (Create BOM) to ensure that the Bill of Materials (BOM) is consistent across plants.
