  The SAP error message F2365, which states "You are not allowed to confirm changes, only to display them," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or document changes within the SAP system. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes to the document or transaction in question.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorization to confirm or make changes to the financial document. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the document is already posted or locked for editing, the system will prevent any modifications.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict user actions based on specific criteria, such as user roles or document types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to confirm changes to the specific document type.
  You can use transaction code SU53 to check for authorization failures after the error occurs. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, consult with your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Document Status Review:
  
  Check the status of the document you are trying to change. If it is already posted or in a locked state, you may need to reverse or unlock the document before making changes.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to document changes in the SAP system. This may involve checking transaction codes related to financial document processing.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for handling financial documents and understand their authorization limits.
