• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 42854 - Access to the info object is in the original language ?

  The SAP error message 42854, which states "Access to the info object is in the original language," typically occurs when a user attempts to access an InfoObject (such as a characteristic or key figure) in a language that is not supported for that specific object. This can happen in environments where multiple languages are used, and the InfoObject has not been translated into the user's preferred language.
  Cause:
  
  Language Settings: The user’s language settings in SAP do not match the language in which the InfoObject is defined.
  Missing Translations: The InfoObject may not have been translated into the user's language, leading to the system defaulting to the original language.
  User Profile Settings: The user profile may not be configured to access the InfoObject in the desired language.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the user’s language settings in SAP are correctly configured. This can usually be done in the user profile settings.
  You can check this by going to the user settings (transaction code SU01) and verifying the "Logon Data" tab for the language setting.
  
  
  
  Translate InfoObjects:
  
  If the InfoObject is not translated into the user's language, you may need to add translations. This can be done using transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to access the InfoObject and add the necessary translations.
  
  
  
  Access in Original Language:
  
  If translations are not available and immediate access is required, you can access the InfoObject in its original language. This may involve changing the user’s language setting temporarily or using a different user profile that has access in the original language.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can provide assistance in checking system settings or making necessary adjustments.
