  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON027 - You cannot edit documents, because the revision is in status "Historic" ?

    The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON027 indicates that you are trying to edit a document that is in a "Historic" status. This typically means that the document has been finalized and is no longer editable, as it is considered to be part of the historical record.

    Cause:

    1. Document Status: The document you are trying to edit has been set to a "Historic" status, which is a common practice in document management systems to prevent changes to finalized documents.
    2. Workflow Completion: The document may have gone through a workflow process that has marked it as complete or historic.
    3. Regulatory Compliance: In some industries, documents must be preserved in their final form for compliance reasons, which can lead to them being locked from editing.

    Solution:

    1. Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in the system. If it is indeed marked as "Historic," you will not be able to edit it directly.
    2. Create a New Version: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new version of the document. This may involve copying the existing document and making the required edits in the new version.
    3. Revert Status (if applicable): If you have the necessary permissions and it is appropriate to do so, you may be able to change the status of the document back to a modifiable state. This typically requires administrative privileges and should be done with caution.
    4. Consult with Your Administrator: If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for document management in your organization. They may have specific procedures in place for handling historic documents.

    Related Information:

    • Document Management in SAP: Understanding how document management works in SAP can help you navigate issues related to document statuses.
    • Version Control: Familiarize yourself with version control practices in SAP, as they can help manage changes to documents effectively.
    • User Permissions: Ensure you have the appropriate permissions to create new versions or change document statuses, as this can vary by user role.

    If you continue to encounter issues or if the document needs to be edited for compliance or other critical reasons, it may be necessary to escalate the matter to your SAP support team for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
