  The SAP error message CRM_ACE_ADM031 indicates that a specific right (authorization object) is already active in the system, and the action you are trying to perform cannot be completed until that right is deactivated. This error typically occurs in the context of managing authorizations in SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to activate a right that is already active. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Trying to activate a new version of an authorization object that is already in use.
  Attempting to make changes to an authorization object without first deactivating the existing one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to deactivate the existing right before you can proceed with the action you intended. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Right: Determine which right (authorization object) is causing the issue. The error message should provide the name of the right (indicated by &1).
  
  
  Deactivate the Right:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP where you manage authorizations (e.g., transaction PFCG for role maintenance).
  Locate the role or authorization object that corresponds to the right mentioned in the error message.
  Deactivate the right by selecting it and choosing the option to deactivate or remove it.
  
  
  
  Retry the Action: Once the right has been deactivated, try to perform the action again that triggered the error.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that deactivating the right does not affect other roles or users who may depend on it.
  
  
  Related Information:
