• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAMS_GEF_MC007 - User &1 is not authorized to edit the geometry of Order &2 ?

  The SAP error message EAMS_GEF_MC007 indicates that a user is attempting to edit the geometry of a specific order but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and permissions are strictly enforced to maintain data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to edit the geometry of the order. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow editing of its geometry. For example, if the order is completed or locked, modifications may not be permitted.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict certain users from editing geometries based on their roles or the type of order.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user's profile and SU53 (Authorization Check) to see what authorizations are missing after the error occurs.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to editing geometries, such as EAM_GEF or similar.
  
  
  
  Change Order Status:
  
  Verify the status of the order. If the order is in a status that does not allow editing, you may need to change the status or unlock the order if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the authorization issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Training and Documentation:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for editing geometries and understand the authorization requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to editing geometries in SAP. This may include reviewing documentation or SAP notes related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., EAM - Enterprise Asset Management).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on authorization issues.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes that may be useful include:
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  SU53 - Authorization Check
  PFCG - Role Maintenance (to manage roles and authorizations)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow the user to edit the geometry of the specified order.
