• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHPRC_EXPLOSION005 - Composition of substance &1 contains more than one residue ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_EXPLOSION005 indicates that there is an issue with the composition of a substance in the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module. Specifically, it means that the substance you are trying to define or manage has more than one residue, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are performing.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Residues Defined: The substance in question has been defined with more than one residue in its composition. In SAP EHS, a substance can typically have only one residue for certain operations, such as when creating a product or material specification.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error during data entry, leading to multiple residues being assigned to the substance.
  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not be set up to handle substances with multiple residues, leading to this error when such a situation arises.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Substance Composition: Check the composition of the substance in the SAP system. Navigate to the relevant substance or material master record and review the residues defined.
  Modify Residue Definitions: If the substance indeed has multiple residues, you will need to modify the composition to ensure that only one residue is defined. This may involve removing or consolidating residues.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for managing substances and residues to ensure compliance with system requirements.
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the substance should allow multiple residues, consult with your SAP EHS administrator or technical team to review the system configuration and determine if adjustments are needed.
  Testing: After making changes, test the substance definition again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
