• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER006 - You are not authorized to start the BOM-BOS transfer ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER006 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to start the BOM (Bill of Materials) to BOS (Bill of Services) transfer process. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Engineering Change Management or Product Lifecycle Management modules.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorization objects for executing the BOM-BOS transfer, and if the user lacks the necessary rights, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for BOM and BOS operations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to BOM and BOS processes include:
  
  C_BOM_ORD (Authorization for BOM)
  C_BOM_BOS (Authorization for BOS)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary activity codes (like create, change, display) for the BOM-BOS transfer.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the authorization check results from SU53.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to refresh their session. Then, attempt the BOM-BOS transfer again to see if the issue is resolved.
