• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_SUITE085 - This translation is active: change is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message CRM_SUITE085 indicates that a translation is currently active for a specific object, and any changes to that object are not permitted while the translation is in progress. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly in the context of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications where translations for various languages are managed.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Active Translation: A translation process is currently active for the object you are trying to modify. This could be a text element, a field, or any other translatable object.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent changes to objects that are being translated to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to override the active translation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Translations:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE63 (Translation: Initial Screen) to check if there are any active translations for the object in question.
  If you find an active translation, you may need to wait until it is completed or canceled.
  
  
  
  Cancel Active Translation:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can cancel the active translation. This can usually be done in the same SE63 transaction or by contacting the user who is performing the translation.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the translation is being performed by another user, you may need to wait until they finish their work.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions:
  
  Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to the object. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant you the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Session:
  
  Sometimes, using a different session or logging out and back in can help clear temporary locks.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE63 (for translations) and SE11 (for data dictionary objects) to manage translations effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on translation management to understand how translations are handled in your specific version of SAP CRM.
