  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/INCOMP055 No authorization to edit incompatibility settings &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user attempts to modify incompatibility settings but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user role trying to access or edit the incompatibility settings in the SAP TM system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object that allows editing of incompatibility settings.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or activity.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  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.

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for editing incompatibility settings.
  
  
  
  Modify Role/Authorization:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the role in PFCG to include the required authorization objects. The relevant authorization object for editing incompatibility settings in SAP TM is typically /SCMTMS/INCOMP or similar.
  Ensure that the authorization for the specific action (like creating, changing, or displaying incompatibility settings) is included.
  
  
  
  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 authorization check results from SU53.
