• The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_TASK073, which states "Task with the internal number &1 already exists," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when dealing with task management in the Chemical Product Management (CPM) area.
  
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when there is an attempt to create a new task in the system, but a task with the same internal number already exists. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate task creation attempts.
  Issues with task number generation, where the system mistakenly generates a number that is already in use.
  Data inconsistencies or corruption in the database.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Tasks: 
  
  Use transaction codes like EHS_CPM_TASK or relevant reports to check if a task with the specified internal number already exists. If it does, you may need to work with that existing task instead of creating a new one.
