• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_BO019 - Object &1 not assigned; object must be owned by a context ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_BO019 Object &1 not assigned; object must be owned by a context typically occurs in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) when there is an issue with the assignment of business objects to a specific context. This error indicates that the object you are trying to access or manipulate is not properly assigned to a context, which is necessary for authorization checks and object management.
  Cause:
  
  Object Not Assigned to Context: The object (e.g., document, material, etc.) you are trying to work with is not assigned to any context. In PLM, contexts are used to group related objects and manage their lifecycle.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object in the specified context.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the PLM settings or the object type settings that prevents the object from being linked to a context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Object to Context:
  
  Check if the object (e.g., document, material) is assigned to a valid context. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate PLM functionality to assign the object to a context.
  If the object is not assigned, you will need to create or select a context and assign the object to it.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object in the context. This may involve checking the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for the PLM module. Ensure that the object types and contexts are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies.
  You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or PLM configuration team to verify that everything is set up correctly.
