Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER098 - Composition data is normalized and cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER098 indicates that the composition data you are trying to modify is in a normalized state, meaning it has been processed and is no longer editable. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) or Product Compliance Management (PCM) modules, where composition data is used to define the makeup of materials or products.
  Cause:
  
  Normalization Process: The composition data has undergone a normalization process, which is often part of data validation or standardization. Once this process is complete, the data is locked to prevent further changes.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to maintain data integrity and consistency, which is why it restricts changes to normalized data.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to edit normalized data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Normalization Status: Verify if the composition data is indeed normalized. If it is, you will need to determine if you can revert it to a non-normalized state (if applicable) or if you need to create a new version of the data.
  Create a New Version: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new version of the composition data. This may involve duplicating the existing data and making the required changes before normalizing it again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines specific to the EHS or PCM module for detailed steps on handling normalized data.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes. If not, contact your system administrator to request the necessary access.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for assistance.
