  The SAP error message FCC0138 indicates that a user does not have the necessary change authorization for a specific template. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) or similar modules where templates are used for various processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to make changes to the template does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in the SAP system.
  Template Locking: The template may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct user role that includes the necessary authorizations for the specific template.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FCC0138 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include change authorization for the template in question. This may involve working with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Template Status:
  
  Verify if the template is currently locked. If it is, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the specific module or process you are working with to ensure that you understand the authorization requirements for templates.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access or change the template again.
