• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARP_MESSAGE005 - No change authorizations for company &1 ?

  The SAP error message FARP_MESSAGE005 ("No change authorizations for company &1") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a company code or related financial data but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to make changes to the specified company code. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Company Code Lock: The company code may be locked for changes due to various reasons, such as being in a closed fiscal year or being set to a status that prevents changes.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the company code are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the company code in question.
  
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Check if the company code is locked for changes. This can be done in transaction OBY6 (for company code settings) or by reviewing the fiscal year settings in OB52 (for fiscal year variant).
  Ensure that the company code is not in a closed status that would prevent changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or BASIS team to review the authorization settings and make necessary adjustments.
