  The SAP error message /SCA/DM_AMPL023 No authorization to change product &1 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to modify the specified product in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where product data is managed.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to change the product does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or permissions related to product management.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific actions they are trying to perform on the product.
  Product Status: The product may be in a status that does not allow changes, although this is less common for this specific error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects (e.g., S_PRODUCT, S_TCODE, etc.) for product changes.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activity (e.g., create, change, display) for the product management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
