  The SAP error message M_RSAO007 indicates that a user is not authorized to change a Material Status (MS) document. This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a document related to material status management but lacks the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their role that allow them to change material status documents.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Document Locking: The document may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
