• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CHAR_VAL070 - You cannot delete the name in the logon language ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_CHAR_VAL070 – "You cannot delete the name in the logon language"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete the user’s name in the logon language (the language in which the user is currently logged on) in the SAP system. The system requires that the user’s name in the logon language must always be maintained and cannot be deleted. This is because the logon language name is essential for user identification and system consistency.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, user master records can have names maintained in multiple languages.
  The logon language is the language the user is currently using to access the system.
  The system mandates that the user’s name in the logon language must exist and cannot be removed.
  Deleting the name in the logon language would cause inconsistencies in user identification and display.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Do not delete the user name in the logon language.
  If you want to change the user name in the logon language, edit it instead of deleting.
  If you want to delete the name in other languages (non-logon languages), you can do so without issues.
  To fix the error:
  
  Go to the user maintenance transaction (e.g., SU01).
  Select the user.
  Go to the Address tab.
  Change the language dropdown to the logon language.
  Ensure that the name fields (First name, Last name) are filled and not empty.
  Save the user record.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The logon language is usually the language set in the user’s logon parameters or the system default language.
  This validation is part of SAP’s data integrity checks to ensure that user master data is consistent.
  If you need to change the logon language for a user, you can do so in the user parameters or user master record, but the name in the new logon language must be maintained.
  This error is common when performing mass user data changes or during user data cleanup.
