  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE210
  
  Text: You cannot select Creation based on CMD Maint. for Standard Material.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or maintain a material using a Creation based on CMD (Change Management Document) Maintenance for a material that is classified as a Standard Material in SAP. 
  
  Standard Materials are typically created and maintained directly without the need for change management documents.
  The system restricts the use of CMD-based creation or maintenance for standard materials because CMD is generally used for materials that require controlled changes, such as configurable or variant materials.
  Attempting to use CMD maintenance for a standard material violates this rule, triggering the error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  CMD (Change Management Document) is a mechanism in SAP to control and document changes to master data, often used in environments with strict change control requirements.
  For Standard Materials, the system expects direct creation or maintenance without CMD.
  The error prevents inconsistent or unsupported operations that could lead to data integrity issues.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Type:
  
  Verify the material type of the material you are trying to create or maintain.
  If it is a Standard Material (e.g., material type ROH, FERT, HALB), do not use CMD-based creation or maintenance.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transaction:
  
  For Standard Materials, use the standard material creation or change transactions such as:
  
  MM01 (Create Material)
  MM02 (Change Material)
  
  
  Avoid using CMD-based transactions or processes for these materials.
  
  
  
  If CMD Maintenance is Required:
  
  If your business process requires CMD-based maintenance, consider whether the material should be classified differently (e.g., as a configurable material).
  Consult with your SAP functional team to adjust the material type or the process accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration in SPRO under Logistics ? Materials Management ? Material Master ? Settings for Key Fields ? Define Material Types.
  Ensure that the material type settings align with your business process and CMD usage.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Types: Different material types have different creation and maintenance rules.
  Change Management Document (CMD): Used for controlled changes, often in regulated industries.
  Transactions:
  
  MM01: Create Material
  MM02: Change Material
  CMD-related transactions depend on your system setup and might be custom or industry-specific.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to CMD and material master maintenance.
  Authorization: Sometimes, this error can also be related to authorization checks if CMD maintenance is restricted.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Do not use CMD-based creation or maintenance for Standard Materials.
  Use standard material master transactions (MM01/MM02) for Standard Materials.
  Review material type and business process if CMD maintenance is required.
  
  
  If you need further assistance, please provide details about the transaction you are using and the material type involved.
