• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M&145 - You do not have the authorization for mass maintenance of object type & ?

  The SAP error message M&145 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform mass maintenance on a specific object type. This error typically arises in the context of mass changes to master data, such as material master records, vendor master records, or other similar objects.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. SAP uses authorization objects to control access to various functions, and if the user does not have the required permissions for mass maintenance of the specified object type, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance). Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for mass maintenance of the specific object type.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This typically involves:
  
  Adding the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_DATA, etc.) to the role.
  Ensuring that the activity for mass maintenance (usually activity 01 for create, 02 for change, etc.) is included.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the mass maintenance operation again.
