  The SAP error message SCMI_SEMMAP104 indicates that a user is attempting to write to the table SCMI_CNTRCT_INFO but lacks the necessary authorization. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or related modules where contract information is managed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role attempting to perform the write operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object that grants access to modify the SCMI_CNTRCT_INFO table.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not be properly configured to include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or operation.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these 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 Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to the SCMI_CNTRCT_INFO table. Common authorization objects for SCM might include S_TABU_DIS (Table Display) or S_TABU_CLI (Table Change).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG:
  
  Add the required authorization objects to the user’s role.
  Ensure that the role is assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the operation again.
