• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRICP_CH_PTR009 - Not authorized to change table &1 ?

  The SAP error message HRICP_CH_PTR009 indicates that a user is not authorized to change a specific table in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of HR (Human Resources) data management, particularly when a user attempts to modify data in a table for which they lack the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change the specified table. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Table Locking: The table might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict access to specific tables or fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for the specific table.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to add the required roles or adjust the existing roles to include the necessary permissions for the table in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Table Locking:
  
  If the issue is related to table locking, check if another user or process is currently using the table. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to the HR module to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing changes to the table.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to HR data include P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, and P_TCODE. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check failure.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SM12: Display and manage locks.
