- You are not authorized to change the requisitions ?The SAP error message ME238, which states "You are not authorized to change the requisitions," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to modify the purchase requisition in question. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to edit or delete a requisition.
Cause: Authorization Issues: The most common cause is that the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to change purchase requisitions. This could be due to missing authorization objects or incorrect role assignments. Document Status: The requisition may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it may be locked or already converted into a purchase order). Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, purchasing group) that prevent changes.
Solution: Check User Authorizations: Contact your SAP security administrator to review your user roles and authorizations. Ensure that you have the necessary authorization objects related to purchase requisitions, such as M_BEST_BSA
