• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK108 - Specification &1 is part of the IMDS worklist (status &2); execute the WL ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_CHECK108 indicates that a specific specification (denoted as &1) is part of the IMDS (International Material Data System) worklist and has a certain status (denoted as &2). This message typically arises in the context of materials management and compliance, particularly when dealing with material specifications that need to be submitted or updated in the IMDS.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the specified material or specification is currently in a worklist status that requires action before it can be processed further. This usually means that the specification has not been fully processed or submitted to the IMDS, and therefore, it cannot be used in the current operation you are attempting to perform.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Worklist: Access the IMDS worklist in your SAP system to review the status of the specification. You can typically find this in the relevant transaction for managing IMDS submissions.
  
  
  Execute the Worklist: If the specification is in a status that requires execution (e.g., pending submission, needs approval, etc.), you will need to execute the worklist. This may involve:
  
  Submitting the specification to IMDS.
  Approving or rejecting the specification as necessary.
  Making any required updates or corrections to the specification.
  
  
  
  Review Status: After executing the worklist, check the status of the specification again to ensure it has been updated appropriately. 
  
  
  Retry the Operation: Once the specification is no longer in the worklist or has been processed, you can retry the operation that initially triggered the error.
