• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_IMDS138 - Basic material &1 needs specified pure substance; delete wildcard ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_IMDS138 indicates that there is an issue with the basic material in the context of the International Material Data System (IMDS) integration. Specifically, the error states that a specified pure substance is required for the basic material, and the use of a wildcard is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Wildcard Usage: The error typically arises when a wildcard character (like *) is used in the definition of a basic material. Wildcards are not permitted in this context because the system requires a specific pure substance to be defined.

  Solution:
  
  Remove Wildcard: Check the basic material definition in the SAP system and remove any wildcard characters. Ensure that the material is defined with a specific pure substance.
  Define Pure Substance: If the basic material does not have a pure substance associated with it, you will need to define one. This can typically be done in the material master data or through the relevant IMDS interface.
  Validate Data: After making changes, validate the data to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that there are no other errors present.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines related to EHPRC (Environmental Health and Product Compliance) and IMDS for specific instructions on how to manage materials and substances.
