  The SAP error message "42855 Language access to info object is not possible" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue related to language settings for InfoObjects, such as characteristics or key figures. This error indicates that the system is unable to access the language-specific data for the specified InfoObject.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Language Data: The InfoObject may not have been maintained for the specific language you are trying to access. This can happen if the InfoObject was created or modified without including translations for all required languages.
  
  
  Incorrect Language Settings: The user’s language settings in their SAP profile may not match the languages available for the InfoObject.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the language data may not have been included in the transport.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or issues with the InfoObject itself that prevent proper access to language-specific data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Language Settings: Verify the language settings in your user profile. You can do this by navigating to the user settings in SAP and ensuring that the desired language is selected.

  Transport Check: If the InfoObject was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary language data was included. If it was not, you may need to re-transport the InfoObject with the correct language settings.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Use transaction RSMO (for InfoObjects) or similar tools to check for inconsistencies in the data model. You may need to regenerate or reprocess the InfoObject.
