System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Default authorization data for an application can be removed in full
(including the administration information) if the application in
question no longer exists.
If you want to continue the process, first navigate to the associated
maintenance transaction and delete the application.
If you only want to remove individual authorization objects from the
list, use the deletion function in the ALV control.
<ZH>Caution:</> Deleting default values can lead to a complete restore
of the initial situation during the next comparison with SAP data
(transaction SU25 step 1 or 2a).
