• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG151 - You are not authorized to change the lot certification data ?

  The SAP error message EG151, which states "You are not authorized to change the lot certification data," typically indicates that the user attempting to make changes to the lot certification data does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions to perform that action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to change lot certification data. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configuration settings that restrict access to certain users or roles.
  Lot Status: The lot may be in a status that does not allow changes to certification data (e.g., it may be locked or completed).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user profile in transaction code SU01 or SUIM.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to lot management and certification data. Common authorization objects include M_MATE_WRK (Material Management) and M_MATE_LAB (Laboratory).
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user roles to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Check Lot Status:
  
  Review the status of the lot in question. If the lot is locked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to change the status or unlock the lot before making modifications.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on authorization objects and roles related to lot certification.
  
  
  
  Testing:
