• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/Q2P067 - Authorization missing to change Q to P project ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/Q2P067 Authorization missing to change Q to P project typically indicates that a user is attempting to change the status of a project from "Q" (Quality) to "P" (Production) without having the necessary authorizations. This is a common issue in SAP environments where project management and authorization controls are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the project status. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Project Status Restrictions: The system may have specific configurations that restrict certain users from changing project statuses based on their roles or the project type.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to perform the action of changing project statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. This may involve adding roles that contain the necessary permissions for project management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or permissions, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Review Project Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the project configuration allows for the status change. Sometimes, project types may have specific rules that restrict status changes based on the project lifecycle.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the authorization requirements for changing project statuses and that they understand the processes involved.
