• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAN_UCC012 - You are not authorized to change the material ?

  The SAP error message EAN_UCC012, which states "You are not authorized to change the material," typically indicates that the user attempting to make changes to a material master record does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. This can occur in various transactions related to material management, such as creating or modifying material data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to change material data. This could be due to missing authorization objects or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that restricts changes (e.g., locked for changes, archived, etc.).
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Contact your SAP security administrator to review the user’s authorization profile.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_WRK, etc.) that allow changes to material master data.
