• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVIS_UI_GENERIC005 - No change authorization for supplier general data (see long text!) ?

  The SAP error message CVIS_UI_GENERIC005, which states "No change authorization for supplier general data," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify supplier general data in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue in systems with strict authorization controls to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change supplier general data. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configuration settings that restrict access to certain data fields or transactions based on user roles.
  Data Locking: The supplier data might be locked for editing due to ongoing processes or workflows that prevent changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization roles in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user profile in transaction code SU01.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as F_LFA1_AKT (for vendor master data) or other related objects.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the relevant team to request the required roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that there are no restrictions on editing supplier general data for the user's role.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Locking:
  
  Investigate if the supplier data is currently locked for editing. This can be checked in transaction code SE16N or SE11 by looking at the relevant tables (e.g., LFA1 for vendor master data).
  If the data is locked, determine the reason for the lock and resolve it accordingly.
