  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER100 indicates that you are trying to create a record in the system, but the "Used as Intermediate" checkbox is selected. This typically occurs in the context of managing chemical products or materials in SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly in the context of Product Safety or Chemical Product Management.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system is designed to prevent the creation of records that are marked as "Used as Intermediate" when certain conditions are not met. This checkbox is used to indicate that the material or product is an intermediate in a production process, and as such, it may have specific regulatory or safety implications. If the system does not allow the creation of a record with this checkbox selected, it is likely due to:

  Data Integrity: The system is designed to maintain data integrity by preventing the creation of records that could lead to inconsistencies or errors in product management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
