• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL125 - Action &1 cannot be deleted (&2) ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL125, which states "Action &1 cannot be deleted (&2)," typically occurs in the context of the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) application within SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). This error indicates that there is an issue preventing the deletion of a specific action associated with an FMEA record.
  Causes:
  
  Action Status: The action you are trying to delete may be in a status that does not allow deletion. For example, if the action is marked as "completed" or "closed," it may not be eligible for deletion.
  Dependencies: The action may have dependencies or links to other objects or records that prevent its deletion. For instance, if other actions or FMEA records reference this action, it cannot be deleted until those references are removed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the action. This could be due to role-based access controls in SAP.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity rules in place that prevent the deletion of certain actions to maintain the integrity of the FMEA process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Action Status: Review the status of the action you are trying to delete. If it is not in a deletable state, you may need to change its status or take other actions before deletion.
  Remove Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or links to other records. If so, you may need to delete or modify those dependencies first.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the action. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on deleting actions within the FMEA application.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like FMEA or PLM_FMEA to navigate to the relevant FMEA records and check the details of the action you are trying to delete.
