• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FL119 - Only user & (responsible for function group) can make repairs ?

  The SAP error message FL119 indicates that only the user responsible for a specific function group can make repairs to it. This is a security measure in SAP to ensure that only authorized personnel can modify certain objects, which helps maintain the integrity of the system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to make changes does not have the necessary authorizations to modify the function group.
  Ownership: The function group is owned by a different user, and SAP restricts modifications to the owner or users with specific authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to make changes to the function group. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  The user may need to be assigned to a role that includes the necessary authorizations for the function group.
  
  
  
  Contact the Owner:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, they should contact the owner of the function group or a system administrator to request the necessary permissions or to perform the changes on their behalf.
  
  
  
  Change Ownership:
  
  If appropriate, the ownership of the function group can be changed to the user who needs to make repairs. This can be done using transaction SE80 or SE37 (for function modules) by the current owner or an administrator.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Requests:
  
  If the changes are part of a development project, consider using transport requests to move changes from the development environment to the production environment, ensuring that the appropriate authorizations are in place.
