• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP107 - You are not authorized for some of the materials in the formula ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP107 indicates that a user is not authorized to access certain materials in a formula. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Recipe Management modules, where users need specific authorizations to work with materials in recipes or formulas.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile for the materials included in the formula.
  Material Status: The materials may be in a status that restricts access (e.g., blocked, inactive).
  User Roles: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that grant access to the materials in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the materials in the formula. This may involve checking authorization objects related to material management (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_LIF, etc.).
  
  
  
  Material Status Review:
  
  Verify the status of the materials in the formula using transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Ensure that the materials are active and not blocked or restricted.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the required materials.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
