  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_CP046 Change authorization for object &1/&2 does not exist typically occurs in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module, particularly when dealing with change authorizations for specific objects. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes to the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user attempting to perform the action does not have the required authorization for the specified object (e.g., a maintenance order, equipment, or functional location).
  Authorization Profile Issues: The user's authorization profile may not include the necessary permissions for the specific object type.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions set up in the system that prevent changes to certain objects based on user roles or statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to add them to the user's role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the PM module (e.g., I_S_PMA, I_S_PMB, etc.) are included in the user's profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Object Status:
  
  Check if the object you are trying to change is in a status that allows changes. Some objects may be locked or restricted based on their current status.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the authorization profiles, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
