  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS801 Forward change authorization explicitly typically occurs in the context of the SAP Discrete Industries and Manufacturing (DIS) module, particularly when dealing with change management and authorization issues.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to forward changes in the system. It usually arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions that they do not possess. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Attempting to approve or forward a change request without the appropriate role or authorization.
  The system is configured to require explicit authorization for certain actions, and the user’s profile does not include these permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s authorization profile to ensure that they have the necessary permissions to perform the action. This can be done by checking the user roles assigned in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Permissions:
  
  If the user lacks the required permissions, you may need to adjust their role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This typically involves working with your SAP security team or administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP Basis or security team. They can provide insights into the specific authorizations needed for the action you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  In some cases, the error may be related to specific configuration settings in the DIS module. Ensure that the system settings align with your organization’s change management policies.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the authorization requirements for the actions they need to perform. Providing documentation on the necessary roles and permissions can help prevent similar issues in the future.
