• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG112 - Cannot change status. You do not have authorizations for asset views. ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG112 indicates that a user is attempting to change the status of an asset but does not have the necessary authorizations for the asset views involved. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile for the asset views they are trying to access or modify.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific asset views.
  View-Specific Restrictions: Certain asset views may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the asset views.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new role with the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for asset management typically include:
  
  F_LFA1_AKT (Vendor Master Data)
  F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document)

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and assign the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations or roles, 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 error persists.
