  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T9005 - System settings do not permit customizing changes ?

    The SAP error message T9005, which states "System settings do not permit customizing changes," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to the system's customizing settings but is restricted from doing so due to specific system configurations or authorizations.

    Causes:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to customizing settings. This is often the most common cause.
    2. Client Settings: The client may be set to a mode that does not allow customizing changes. For example, if the client is in a production environment, it may be locked down to prevent changes.
    3. Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer may be configured to restrict changes in certain environments.
    4. System Configuration: Certain system settings may be configured to prevent changes to customizing settings, especially in a live or production environment.

    Solutions:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make customizing changes. This can be done by checking the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
      • The user should have the appropriate authorization objects, such as S_TCODE for transaction codes related to customizing.
    2. Client Settings:

      • Verify the client settings using transaction SCC4. If the client is set to "Modifiable" and the user has the necessary authorizations, then changes should be allowed.
      • If the client is a production client, consider making changes in a development or quality assurance client instead.
    3. Transport Layer:

      • Check the transport layer settings in transaction SE09 or SE10. Ensure that the transport routes are correctly configured and that the user has access to the transport requests.
    4. System Configuration:

      • Consult with your SAP Basis team to review any system-wide settings that may be preventing customizing changes. This may include system parameters or specific configurations that restrict changes.
    5. Use of Change Requests:

      • If you are trying to make changes in a production environment, ensure that you are following the proper change management process, which typically involves creating a transport request.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to customizing and authorization management to ensure compliance with best practices.
    • Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it involves system-level configurations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the T9005 error and implement the appropriate solution.
