  The SAP error message /PLMI/CR_BO062 indicates that a user is attempting to change a change record of a specific record type, but they do not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can modify certain records.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change the record of the specified type. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Record Type Restrictions: Certain record types may be configured in the system to be non-editable or restricted to specific user roles.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have been configured to restrict changes to certain records based on business rules or processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific record type they are trying to change. This may involve adding the appropriate authorization objects to their roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify user roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the authorization seems correct, check the configuration settings related to the specific record type. This may involve looking into the customizing settings for the change records in the relevant module (e.g., PLM, MM, etc.).
  Ensure that the record type is not set to be non-editable for the user's role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or configurations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to see if the error persists.
