• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CLP031 - No authorization to change selected objects ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CLP031 No authorization to change selected objects typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to modify or change certain objects (like planning books, data views, or other master data) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change the selected objects. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Object Locking: The object might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may restrict changes to specific objects based on user roles.
  
  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 is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the objects they are trying to change.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically involves working with a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access to manage roles.
  
  
  
  Check Object Locking:
  
  If the object is locked, you can check the lock entries using transaction SM12. If you find that the object is locked by another user, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to authorization issues in APO to ensure that you are aware of any specific requirements or configurations that may apply.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action that previously resulted in the error.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization in APO.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of authorizations and how to request changes if they encounter issues.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
