• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB602 - No authorization to change the valuation type ?

  The SAP error message LB602 ("No authorization to change the valuation type") typically occurs when a user attempts to change the valuation type of a material or inventory item but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are strictly enforced to maintain data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the valuation type. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain fields based on user roles or organizational policies.
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may have restrictions on changing valuation types based on business rules or settings in the material master.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to change the valuation type.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should update the user's roles to include the required authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_DATA, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings:
  
  Check the material master settings to ensure that the valuation type can be changed for the specific material and that there are no restrictions based on the material type.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for changing valuation types and understand the implications of such changes.
