• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGMD350 - You have no authorization to change characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message UGMD350, which states "You have no authorization to change characteristic &1," typically indicates that the user attempting to make changes to a characteristic in the SAP system does not have the necessary authorization rights to perform that action. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with characteristics in the SAP Master Data or when dealing with classification systems.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to change the specified characteristic. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Characteristic Status: The characteristic may be locked or set to a status that prevents changes.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate user roles that include the necessary permissions for modifying characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is lacking.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for changing characteristics.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:

  C_TSCM_OM (for changing characteristics in the classification system)
  C_TSCM_CHA (for changing characteristics in general)
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Characteristic Status:
  
  Ensure that the characteristic is not locked or in a status that prevents changes. You can check this in the classification system or the relevant master data area.

  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding authorization management to ensure compliance with security policies.
