  SAP Error Message:
  WS715 No authorization to change contract type &1 (&2) &3 &4
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user attempts to change the contract type in SAP (usually in the Personnel Administration or Personnel Management module) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action.
  
  &1 = Contract type (e.g., "01" for permanent, "02" for temporary)
  &2 = Personnel subarea or other organizational unit
  &3 and &4 = Additional context information (could be personnel number, infotype, or other relevant data)
  
  The system checks the user's authorizations against the authorization object P_ORGIN (Organizational Assignment) or P_PERNR (Personnel Number) and P_TCODE (Transaction Code) when changing sensitive data like contract type. If the user lacks the required authorization, the system blocks the change and issues this error.
