• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL144 - To remove an action, the corresponding FMEA must be in process ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FMEA_APPL144 indicates that you are trying to remove an action from a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) that is not currently in a valid state for such an operation. Specifically, the FMEA must be in a "process" state to allow for the removal of actions.
  Cause:
  
  FMEA Status: The FMEA you are working with is likely in a status that does not permit the removal of actions. For example, it may be in a "completed" or "archived" state.
  Workflow Restrictions: There may be workflow rules or configurations that prevent modifications to the FMEA once it reaches a certain stage.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify the FMEA or its associated actions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check FMEA Status: Verify the current status of the FMEA. You can do this by navigating to the FMEA in the SAP system and checking its status. If it is not in a "process" state, you will need to change its status to allow for action removal.
  Change Status: If the FMEA is in a status that does not allow for action removal, you may need to change its status back to "in process." This may require specific permissions or approvals, depending on your organization's workflow.
  Review Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify the FMEA. If not, contact your SAP administrator or the person responsible for managing user roles and permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on FMEA management to understand the specific statuses and their implications.
  
  Related Information:
