• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX206 - Use replacing option 'ROOT WITH' to inherit access conditions from &1 ?

  The SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX206 indicates that there is an issue with the access conditions in the context of the Access Control Management (ACM) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to define or modify access conditions for a specific object, and the system is prompting you to use the "ROOT WITH" option to inherit access conditions from a parent object.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are attempting to create or modify access conditions for a child object without properly inheriting the access conditions from its parent (root) object.
  The system requires that the child object should inherit certain access conditions from the root object to maintain consistency and ensure that the access control rules are applied correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ACM_SYNTAX206 error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Use the 'ROOT WITH' Option:
  
  When defining the access conditions for the child object, make sure to include the "ROOT WITH" option in your configuration. This will allow the child object to inherit the access conditions from the specified root object.
  
  
  
  Check Access Conditions:
  
  Review the access conditions defined for the root object. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that the child object can inherit them without conflicts.
  
  
  
  Modify the Access Condition Definition:
  
  If you are using a transaction or a configuration screen to define access conditions, look for an option to specify inheritance or to set the root object explicitly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to Access Control Management for detailed instructions on how to set up access conditions and inheritance properly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the access conditions are functioning as expected.
