• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP008 - You are not authorized to change routing &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP008 You are not authorized to change routing &1 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to modify the specified routing in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to change the routing does not have the required authorization object or permissions assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for routing changes.
  Object Restrictions: The routing object may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for changing routings. This may involve checking the roles in transaction PFCG.
  If the user needs additional permissions, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for routing changes typically include C_RTG_AA (for routing authorization) and C_RTG_AU (for routing change authorization). Ensure that these objects are included in the user's roles with the appropriate activity (e.g., change).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to change the routing again.
