• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF060 - You are not authorized to edit costs function settings &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF060 indicates that a user is not authorized to edit cost function settings in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify settings related to cost calculations or cost profiles without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to perform the action. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for editing cost settings.
  Profile Restrictions: The user’s profile may have restrictions that prevent access to certain functions within the TMS.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. The relevant authorization object for TMS cost settings is typically /SCMTMS/TS_PROF or similar.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to edit cost settings, which may include actions like creating, changing, or displaying cost profiles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the error message and the details from SU53 to assist in troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, test the functionality again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to TMS and cost settings. This can help in understanding what permissions are necessary.
