• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT357 - User &1 has no authorization to change BOM ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT357 User &1 has no authorization to change BOM indicates that the user attempting to change a Bill of Materials (BOM) does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to change BOMs. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or authorization objects related to BOM maintenance.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be correctly set up to allow changes to BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorizations for BOM maintenance (e.g., authorization objects like BOM or M_MATE_MAR).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the user ID to assist in troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to change the BOM again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to BOM maintenance include:
  
  M_BOM_ALE (BOM: Authorization for ALE)
  M_BOM_MA (BOM: Authorization for Maintenance)
  M_BOM_BA (BOM: Authorization for Display)
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS01 - Create BOM
  CS02 - Change BOM
  CS03 - Display BOM
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
