How To Fix R7511 - An active version but not a revised one exists for InfoObject &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7 - BW: Data basis

• Message number: 511

• Message text: An active version but not a revised one exists for InfoObject &1

What causes this issue?

InfoObject &V1& should have been deleted via a transport. This was not
possible since the active version of the InfoObject was still being
used (for example, in InfoCubes or other InfoObjects).
Therefore, when importing the transport, only the revised version was
deleted, and not the active version.

System Response

InfoObject &V1& is inconsistent and cannot be edited.

How to fix this error?

Reorganize the InfoObject - tables (transaction RSD1 --> Extras -->
InfoObject - Reorganize tables). In this way, the active version is
copied into the revised version, and InfoObject &V1& can be edited once
again.
Note that InfoObject &V1& was intended for deletion. It was only not
completely deleted due to references. If possible (meaning the
InfoObject is no longer required), you should remove the references and
then manually delete InfoObject &V1&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
