• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME605 - No authorization to change conditions of conditions type & ?

  The SAP error message ME605 ("No authorization to change conditions of condition type &") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify pricing conditions in purchasing documents (like purchase orders) but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is related to the authorization objects that control access to condition maintenance in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to change the conditions for the specified condition type. This can happen if the user's role does not include the necessary permissions.
  Condition Type Restrictions: Certain condition types may have specific restrictions that prevent changes unless the user has the appropriate role or authorization.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to certain condition types based on user roles.
  
  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 for the relevant condition types.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should update the user's roles to include the required authorizations for changing conditions.
  The relevant authorization objects may include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Group) and M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Vendor).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for the condition types in the SAP system to ensure there are no additional restrictions in place.
