• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD035 - No authorization to modify documentation (raw version) ?

  The SAP error message SD035, which states "No authorization to modify documentation," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or change documentation in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to edit sales orders, delivery documents, or billing documents.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to modify documentation. This is often due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or document type.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow modifications (e.g., completed or archived).
  Custom Authorization Checks: Custom authorization checks implemented in the system may restrict access based on specific criteria.
  
  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.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the required authorization objects for modifying documentation in the SD module.
  Common authorization objects related to SD documentation include:
  
  V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Area)
  V_VBAK_AAT (Sales Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  V_VBAK_VST (Sales Document: Authorization for Status)
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the document you are trying to modify. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to follow the appropriate process to unlock or change the status of the document.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the necessary authorizations or how to modify roles, consult with your SAP Basis or security team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
