  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC_INB107
  
  Text: You are not authorized to change purchasing list &1 &2 &3
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user attempting to change a purchasing list does not have the necessary authorization. The purchasing list in question is protected by authorization objects, and the user's role or profile does not include the required permissions to modify it.
  The placeholders &1, &2, &3 typically represent specific details such as the purchasing list number, document type, or other relevant identifiers, which help identify the exact object the user tried to change.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Identify the authorization objects related to purchasing list changes. Common authorization objects involved might be:
  
  M_EINK_FRG (Release of Purchasing Documents)
  M_EINK_BSA (Purchasing Document Types)
  M_EINK_EKO (Purchasing Document Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary activity (e.g., change, display) and object values assigned.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, update the role(s) assigned to the user to include the necessary permissions.
  Use transaction PFCG to modify roles and add the required authorization objects and values.
  After role adjustment, have the user log off and log back in to refresh authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing List Status:
  
  Sometimes, the purchasing list might be locked or in a status that prevents changes.
  Verify the status of the purchasing list and ensure it is open for changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If unsure about which authorizations to assign, consult your SAP security or BASIS team for assistance.
