• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS292 - Change authorization for equipment &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS292 Change authorization for equipment &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of the Plant Maintenance (PM) module when a user attempts to make changes to an equipment record but lacks the necessary authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change the equipment record. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Equipment Status: The equipment might be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., locked for maintenance).
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to equipment changes (e.g., I_EQUIP) may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to change equipment records.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to add the appropriate roles or modify existing ones to include the required authorizations for equipment changes.
  
  
  
  Check Equipment Status:
  
  Verify the status of the equipment. If it is locked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to unlock it or change its status before making modifications.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the operation again.
