• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LQ808 - You are not authorized to change this proposal ?

  The SAP error message LQ808 ("You are not authorized to change this proposal") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a proposal in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with logistics, inventory management, or other modules where proposals are generated for actions like stock transfers, purchase orders, or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change the specific proposal.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations related to the proposal.
  Document Status: The proposal may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it may be locked or finalized).
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up correctly to allow changes to proposals.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for changing proposals.
  
  
  
  Document Status Review:
  
  Verify the status of the proposal. If it is locked or finalized, consult with the relevant team to see if it can be unlocked or if changes can be made through a different process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines related to the specific module or process to understand the required authorizations for changing proposals.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations and document status, consider reaching out to your internal SAP support team or SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to proposals may include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes), S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations), and specific objects related to the module in use (e.g., MM, SD, PP).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may be involved in the process, such as ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition), ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition), etc.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization problems.
