• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_LOG006 - Simultaneous restriction of materials and customers is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_LOG006 indicates that there is an attempt to simultaneously restrict both materials and customers in a way that is not allowed by the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Risk Management or Compliance Management modules, where restrictions are applied to ensure compliance with regulations or internal policies.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A user tries to create or modify a restriction that applies to both materials and customers at the same time.
  The system is configured to prevent simultaneous restrictions for compliance reasons, as it can lead to conflicts or ambiguity in the application of those restrictions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Restriction Setup:
  
  Check the configuration of the restrictions you are trying to apply. Ensure that you are not trying to restrict both materials and customers in the same transaction or process.
  
  
  
  Separate Restrictions:
  
  If you need to restrict both materials and customers, consider creating separate restriction entries for each. Apply the material restriction first, and then apply the customer restriction in a separate transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., EHPRC - Environment, Health, and Safety Management) for detailed guidelines on how to set up restrictions correctly.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify restrictions. Sometimes, lack of proper authorizations can lead to unexpected errors.
