• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR066 - Measuring point &1 has no change authorization in this system ?

  The SAP error message IR066 indicates that a measuring point (identified by &1) does not have the necessary change authorization in the current system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a measuring point but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorization to change the measuring point. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Configuration Settings: The measuring point may be configured in such a way that it restricts changes based on certain criteria (e.g., status, type).

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to change measuring points.
