• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINB_TR037 - Translation is only possible in logon clients ?

  The SAP error message FINB_TR037 indicates that a translation operation is being attempted in a client that does not support it. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform translation activities in a non-logon client (like a test or development client) where translation functionality is restricted.
  Cause:
  
  Client Type: The error usually arises in clients that are not designated for translation activities. In SAP, there are different types of clients (e.g., development, quality assurance, production), and only certain clients are allowed to perform translations.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform translation activities in the current client.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict translation activities in certain clients.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Logon Client: Ensure that you are logged into a client that is designated for translation activities. Typically, this would be a development client (often client 000 or a specific development client).
  Check Client Settings: Verify the client settings in transaction SCC4 to ensure that the client is configured to allow translation activities.
  User Authorizations: Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform translations. This can be done through transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team to understand the specific configurations and restrictions in your environment.
  
  Related Information:
