• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBR535 - You are not authorized to &1 batch records for material &2 ?

  The SAP error message EBR535 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions on batch records for a specific material. This error typically arises in environments where strict access controls are enforced, such as in pharmaceutical or regulated industries where batch records are critical for compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view or manipulate batch records for the specified material.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Review Material and Batch Status:
  
  Check the status of the material and the batch. Ensure that the batch is not locked or restricted due to quality control or other processes.
