• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS553 - No authorization for material change for equipment & ?

  The SAP error message IS553 "No authorization for material change for equipment" typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a material associated with equipment but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required authorization roles assigned to their user profile to change material data for the specified equipment.
  Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects related to material management or equipment management are not included in the user's roles.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may be logged in with a different profile that lacks the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should review and modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects, such as M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Change) or any other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the action again to verify that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of their authorization limits and provide training on how to request additional access if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to material and equipment changes. Common objects include:
