• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/3FB_MESSAGES058 - CANCEL_TRANS only allowed in root object ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/3FB_MESSAGES058 CANCEL_TRANS only allowed in root object typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or similar modules when there is an attempt to cancel a transaction that is not allowed for non-root objects. This error indicates that the operation you are trying to perform (cancelling a transaction) is restricted to the root object of a hierarchy or structure.
  Cause:
  
  Non-root Object: The error arises when you attempt to cancel a transaction for an object that is not the root of a hierarchy. In SAP, certain operations are only permitted on the root object to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Hierarchy Structure: The object you are working with may be part of a larger hierarchy (like a maintenance order or a work breakdown structure), and only the top-level object (root) can be modified in certain ways.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Root Object: Determine the root object of the hierarchy you are working with. You can usually find this by checking the structure of the objects involved in the transaction.
  Perform Action on Root Object: Instead of trying to cancel the transaction on the non-root object, perform the cancellation on the root object. This may involve navigating to the root object in the SAP GUI and executing the cancellation there.
  Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the cancellation on the root object. If you do not have the required authorizations, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or help files for more information on the specific transaction and its requirements.
