• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_SEC072 - Collateral object cannot be set to inactive; active change request exist ?

  The SAP error message CMS_SEC072 indicates that a collateral object (such as a role, authorization object, or similar) cannot be set to inactive because there is an active change request associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change and Transport System (CTS) when changes to security objects are being managed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the collateral object you are trying to deactivate is currently linked to an active change request. In SAP, when changes are made to security objects, they are often captured in a transport request. If that request is still active (i.e., it has not been released or is still in the process of being modified), the system prevents you from deactivating the object to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Change Requests:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer).
  Look for any active change requests that include the collateral object in question.
  
  
  
  Release or Delete the Change Request:
  
  If the change request is no longer needed, you can delete it.
  If the changes are complete and you want to keep them, release the change request. This can be done by selecting the request and choosing the "Release" option.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Collateral Object:
  
  Once the change request is released or deleted, you should be able to set the collateral object to inactive without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or active requests that might be affecting the ability to deactivate the object.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Requests: Understanding how transport requests work in SAP is crucial. They are used to move changes from one environment to another (e.g., from development to production).
  Authorization Management: Familiarize yourself with how roles and authorizations are managed in SAP, as this can help in troubleshooting similar issues in the future.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or additional guidance provided by SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CMS_SEC072 error and successfully deactivate the collateral object.
