  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_UR162 Change auth. is not enabled for some equipment; this is not displayed typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics Management or Plant Maintenance modules, particularly when dealing with equipment or asset management. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes to certain equipment records.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user attempting to make changes does not have the required authorization for specific equipment. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain equipment types or categories are restricted from being modified by certain users or roles.
  Equipment Status: The equipment may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., inactive, locked, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to change the equipment in question.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or permissions assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorization objects related to equipment management (e.g., I_EQUIP for equipment).
  
  
  
  Review Equipment Status:
  
  Check the status of the equipment in question. If it is locked or inactive, you may need to change its status to allow modifications.
  Use transaction code IE02 to check and modify the equipment status if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review any settings that may restrict changes to certain equipment types or categories.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality again to ensure that the user can now make the required changes without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IE01 (Create Equipment), IE02 (Change Equipment), and IE03 (Display Equipment).
  Authorization Objects: Understand the relevant authorization objects that govern equipment management, such as I_EQUIP and S_TCODE.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management and equipment handling.
