• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_QUM025 - Ind. "No long text change" does not allow deletion of text for &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message OPS_SE_QUM025, which states "No long text change" does not allow deletion of text for &1 &2, typically occurs when you are trying to delete or modify long text associated with a specific object (like a material, equipment, or document) in the SAP system, but the system is preventing this action due to certain restrictions.
  Cause:
  
  Text Type Restrictions: The long text you are trying to delete may be protected or locked due to the text type settings in the system. Some text types are configured to be non-deletable.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify or delete long texts.
  Object Status: The object associated with the long text may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it may be locked for editing).
  Custom Logic: There may be custom logic or enhancements in place that prevent the deletion of long texts under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Text Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the text type in the SAP system to see if it is set to allow deletion. This can be done in transaction codes like SE75 (Text Types) or SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete or modify long texts. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs or by reviewing the user's role assignments.
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object associated with the long text. If it is locked or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change its status or unlock it.
  Consult with Development Team: If there are custom enhancements or logic that prevent deletion, consult with your development team to understand the restrictions and see if they can be modified.
  Use Alternative Methods: If deletion is not possible, consider alternative methods such as marking the text as obsolete or adding a new text that indicates the previous text is no longer valid.
  
  Related Information:
