  The SAP error message PMRP050 "No change authorization for plant &1" typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a plant's data or configuration in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to make changes to the specified plant. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general permissions but lacks specific permissions for the plant in question.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or action being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects for the plant.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user roles and authorizations in your organization.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for plant-related changes typically include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document) and M_BEST_EKG (Purchasing Group).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects, particularly for the specific plant in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
