• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F2370 - No authorization to change general data ?

  The SAP error message F2370, which states "No authorization to change general data," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify general data in the system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to change vendor or customer master data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to change general data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data they are trying to modify.
  Data Protection Settings: Certain data may be protected due to company policies or specific configurations in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should modify the user’s roles to include the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to general data changes include:
  
  F_BKPF_BWA (Accounting Document)
  F_LFA1_APR (Vendor Master Data)
  F_KNA1_APR (Customer Master Data)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the necessary changes and implement them.
  
  
  
  Review Data Protection Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific data protection settings in place that might restrict changes to certain fields or data types.

  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to general data changes.
