• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMM_CUSTDATA058 - No authorization to set status '&1' ?

  The SAP error message UMM_CUSTDATA058 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to set a specific status in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Customer Management (CRM) or SAP Business Suite applications, where users are trying to change the status of a business object (like a sales order, service request, etc.) but lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific status that the user is trying to set is restricted based on the authorization objects defined in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object that allows them to change the status.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Status Configuration: The status being set may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the action being performed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects related to status changes include C_TCODE (Transaction Code) and C_SYST (System Authorization).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
