• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMB200 - You are not authorized to change the assessment ?

  The SAP error message UMB200, which states "You are not authorized to change the assessment," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify an assessment document or related data in SAP but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change the assessment.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it may be locked or already posted).
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict changes to assessments based on specific criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorization checks failed.
  If necessary, contact your SAP security administrator to review and adjust the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status:
  
  Check the status of the assessment document. If it is locked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to unlock it or change its status before making modifications.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, review the settings related to assessments in the relevant module (e.g., CO). Ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent changes to assessments.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transactions:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct transaction codes for the actions you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to change an assessment, make sure you are using the correct transaction for that purpose.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations and document status, consider reaching out to your internal SAP support team or SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSU5 (Change Assessment) or KSU1 (Create Assessment) depending on your needs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or user manuals related to the assessment process in your specific module for more context on how assessments are managed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the UMB200 error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
