Summary :
In SAP EH&S Specification Management, use of function modules such as C1F2_SUBSTANCES_READ, C1F2_SUBSTANCES_CREATE, and C1F5_SPECIFICATIONS_READ can lead to data loss due to unintentional buffer initializations. To mitigate this, follow API documentation closely, specifically for data record intervals. New applications should prefer C1F5_* modules, utilizing C1F2_SUBSTANCES_SAVE_TO_DB for older applications' data updates. Ensure buffer layer initialization parameters are correctly set, including key dates and change numbers. Developers are guided to handle buffer layers efficiently to prevent data loss or corruption. Always initiate the next logical unit of work after saving to the database.
