• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IRW_LT078 - Object under audit area should have atleast one live policy ?

  The SAP error message IRW_LT078 indicates that an object under audit in the SAP system does not have any live policies associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) or similar modules where policies are used to manage compliance and risk.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An object (such as a business process, application, or system) is being audited, but there are no active or "live" policies linked to it.
  The system expects at least one active policy to be in place to ensure that the object is being monitored or governed according to compliance standards.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Navigate to the policy management section in your SAP GRC system.
  Verify if there are any policies created for the object in question.
  
  
  
  Create or Activate a Policy:
  
  If no policies exist, you will need to create a new policy that applies to the object.
  If there are existing policies that are inactive, you may need to activate them.
  
  
  
  Link Policies to the Object:
  
  Ensure that the newly created or activated policy is properly linked to the object under audit.
  This may involve assigning the policy to the relevant business process or application.
  
  
  
  Review Audit Settings:
  
  Check the audit settings to ensure that they are configured correctly to recognize the policies associated with the object.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
