• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_BO009 - You can only transfer owned objects ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_BO009: You can only transfer owned objects typically occurs in the context of the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module when a user attempts to transfer ownership of an object (like a document, material, or other PLM-related items) that they do not own. This is a security measure to ensure that only the owner of an object can transfer it to another user or group.
  Cause:
  
  Ownership Issue: The user trying to perform the transfer does not have ownership of the object in question.
  Authorization Settings: The user's authorization profile may not include the necessary permissions to transfer ownership of the object.
  Object Status: The object may be in a status that does not allow for ownership transfer.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Ownership: Verify if the user attempting the transfer is indeed the owner of the object. This can usually be done by checking the object properties or metadata.
  Change Ownership: If the user is not the owner, they will need to contact the current owner or an administrator to either transfer ownership or perform the transfer on their behalf.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transfer. This may involve checking the user's role assignments and authorization objects related to PLM.
  Object Status Review: Check the status of the object to ensure it is eligible for transfer. If the object is locked or in a state that prevents transfer, it may need to be released or changed to a different status.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on ownership and transfer processes in the PLM module.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in PLM that deal with object management, such as CV01N (Create Document), CV02N (Change Document), and CV03N (Display Document).
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP Community forums for additional assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully transfer ownership of the object in question.
