• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RSP035 - You are not authorized to change the &1 of specification &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RSP035 indicates that a user is attempting to change a specific attribute (denoted by &1) of a specification (denoted by &2), but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role that allows them to change the specified attribute of the material specification.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object type or the particular specification that the user is trying to modify.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to add the required authorization objects to their role. This typically involves working with a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access to modify roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or if you are unsure about which authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide guidance on the necessary authorizations and make the required changes.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Check the documentation for the specific transaction or process you are trying to execute. It may provide insights into the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functions. Common authorization objects related to material specifications include C_MATB (Material Master) and C_MATN (Material Number).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Display Authorization Check).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization-related problems.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve the authorization issue.
