  The SAP error message CFS_MSG036 indicates that a user is not authorized to change a specific planned order. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's production planning and control modules, where users may need specific authorizations to modify planned orders.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorization roles or permissions to change the planned order. This could be due to missing roles in the user's profile or restrictions set by the organization.
  Status of Planned Order: The planned order may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., released, completed).
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to planned orders based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant activities related to planned orders (e.g., C_CRM_ORDER for order management).
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to grant the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Planned Order Status:
  
  Check the status of the planned order in question. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change its status or create a new planned order.
  Use transaction MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to check the status.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review any settings that may restrict changes to planned orders.
  Look for any user exits or enhancements that may impose additional restrictions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
