• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM089 - Higher-level funct. location &1 for &2 does not have change authorization ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM089 indicates that a user is attempting to make changes to a higher-level functional location or piece of equipment for which they do not have the necessary change authorization. This typically occurs in the context of Plant Maintenance (PM) or similar modules where functional locations and equipment are managed.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change the higher-level functional location or equipment. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Hierarchy Restrictions: The system may have restrictions in place that prevent changes to certain higher-level objects unless specific conditions are met.
  Object Status: The higher-level functional location or equipment may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., locked, inactive).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.

  Review Object Status:
  
  Check the status of the higher-level functional location or equipment. If it is locked or inactive, you may need to change its status to allow modifications.
  Use transaction IL03 (Display Functional Location) or IE03 (Display Equipment) to review the status.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Management:
  
  If the system is set up with specific hierarchy management rules, ensure that the user is following the correct procedures for making changes to higher-level objects.
  Consult with a functional consultant or system administrator to understand any specific configurations that may be affecting authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
