• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC112 - No authorization for changing resource hierarchies ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC112 No authorization for changing resource hierarchies typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to modify resource hierarchies without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user does not have the required permissions to change resource hierarchies in the APO system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects related to resource management.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow changes to resource hierarchies.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated to reflect the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 and enter the user ID to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for changing resource hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles. This can be done using transaction PFCG:
  
  Open the role that needs modification.
  Add the required authorization objects related to resource management (e.g., S_APO_RES for resource management).
  Make sure to include the necessary activities (like create, change, delete) for the resource hierarchy.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes to the roles, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or if you are unsure about which authorizations to add, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
