• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR142 - You are not authorized to change the status of rtl reval. doc. items ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WR142: "You are not authorized to change the status of rtl reval. doc. items":
  
  Error Message
  WR142: You are not authorized to change the status of rtl reval. doc. items
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the user attempting to change the status of a real-time (RTL) revaluation document item does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, certain document status changes are protected by authorization objects to ensure that only users with appropriate permissions can perform these actions.
  Specifically, the user lacks the required authorization to modify the status of revaluation document items in the Real-Time Ledger (RTL) or related modules.
  
  Related Information
  
  The error is typically encountered in modules dealing with Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or Financial Accounting (FI) where revaluation documents are processed.
  The authorization check is usually linked to an authorization object such as F_BKPF_BES (Authorization for Document Status) or a similar object controlling status changes.
  The status change might be related to posting, reversing, or editing revaluation documents.
  The error can also occur if the user tries to change the status of a document that is locked or in a status that does not allow changes.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs.
  Look for missing authorizations related to document status changes, especially for revaluation documents.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorization objects assigned, such as:
  
  F_BKPF_BES (Authorization for Document Status)
  F_BKPF_BUK (Company Code Authorization)
  Any custom authorization objects related to revaluation document processing.
  
  
  The authorization field controlling status changes might be BESCH (Document status).
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Update the user's roles in PFCG to include the required authorizations.
  Transport the changes to the production system if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify if the document is in a status that allows changes.
  If the document is locked or already posted/finalized, status changes might be restricted.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Support Portal for any notes related to error WR142 for your specific SAP version.
