  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/CV003 - Authorizations are missing for change number & ?

    The SAP error message /PLMI/CV003 Authorizations are missing for change number & typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change Management functionality, particularly when working with change numbers in the Logistics or Production Planning modules. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the specified change number.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the change number.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object related to the change number.
    3. Change Number Status: The change number may be in a status that restricts access based on user roles or authorizations.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
      • Review the authorization objects related to change management, such as C_TPLM_CNG (Change Management) and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
    2. Role Assignment:

      • If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for change management.
      • Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include access to the relevant change numbers.
    3. Change Number Status:

      • Verify the status of the change number. If it is in a restricted status, consult with the change management team to understand if there are any specific restrictions in place.
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
      • Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for change management in SAP. Common objects include:
      • C_TPLM_CNG: Change Management
      • C_TPLM_CNG_ACT: Change Management Activity

      • SU01: User Maintenance (to check and modify user roles)

      • SU53: Display Authorization Check (to analyze authorization failures)
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and change management processes.
