  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP204 No change authorization for planning version & typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to make changes to a planning version for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to modify data in the planning book or when executing certain planning functions.
  Cause:

  Planning Version Settings: The planning version may be set to "Display" mode, preventing any changes.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error 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 PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for the planning version are included.

  Check Planning Version Settings:
  
  Verify the settings of the planning version in transaction /SAPAPO/VER to ensure it is not set to "Display" mode. If it is, change it to allow modifications.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
