  The SAP error message DFPS_PM003 indicates that there is no change authorization for a specific functional location, which is preventing the dismantling of an asset or functional location in the Plant Maintenance (PM) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action (like dismantling) on a functional location for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to make changes to the specified functional location.
  Functional Location Status: The functional location may be in a status that does not allow for dismantling or changes.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to certain functional locations based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization profile to ensure they have the necessary permissions to change the functional location. This can be done by checking the user's roles in transaction code SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorization objects related to Plant Maintenance, such as I_S_TCODE, I_M_MAINT, and I_M_FLOC.

  Check the status of the functional location in transaction code IL03 (Display Functional Location). Ensure that it is not in a status that prevents dismantling (e.g., "Inactive" or "Blocked").
  If the functional location is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change its status or consult with a system administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult with System Administrator:
  
  If the user believes they should have the necessary permissions, consult with a system administrator or security team to review and adjust the authorization settings as needed.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review any configuration settings in the system that may restrict changes to functional locations. This may involve checking the settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Plant Maintenance.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for dismantling functional locations and understand the authorization requirements.
