• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDMSET213 - No authorization to change settlement units ?

  The SAP error message EEDMSET213 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change settlement units in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or Controlling (CO) modules, where settlement units are used to manage the allocation of costs and revenues.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to change the settlement units does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user account.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configuration settings that restrict changes to settlement units based on user roles or project status.
  Document Status: The document or project may be in a status that does not allow changes to settlement units (e.g., if it is already settled or closed).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the missing authorizations.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorization objects (e.g., K_AUFK_AKT, K_AUFK_BER, etc.) are included.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the required roles or authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Project/Document Status:
  
  Check the status of the project or document to ensure it is in a state that allows changes to settlement units. If the project is closed or settled, you may need to reopen it or create a new settlement unit.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific authorization objects related to settlement units and their required permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the changes by attempting to modify the settlement units again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
