• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_SEL003 - User &1 has no change authorization ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_SEL003 User &1 has no change authorization typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires change authorization, but their user profile does not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to make changes in the specific area of the SCM module they are trying to access.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles or profiles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Object-Specific Authorization: The authorization object related to the specific transaction or data manipulation may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is generating the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., /SCMB/DM, S_TCODE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to create or modify roles and assign the appropriate authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
