• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS124 - User &1 has no change authorization ?

  The SAP error message KS124 ("User &1 has no change authorization") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a cost center or internal order in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to modify master data or when attempting to post transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object for the specific action they are trying to perform. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for changing cost centers or internal orders.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on organizational levels or other criteria that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to add the required roles or modify existing roles to include the necessary authorization objects (e.g., K_CCA for cost center accounting).
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for Controlling, such as:
  
  K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting)
  K_CCA_ACT (Activity Type)
  K_CCA_CTR (Cost Center)
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the KS124 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
