• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTP047 - You do not have authorization to change the ruling price ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTP047 – You do not have authorization to change the ruling price.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user attempts to change the ruling price in a transaction or master data record but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. The ruling price is a key pricing element in SAP, often used in customs and trade processes, and its modification is typically restricted to users with specific permissions.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The ruling price is used in customs valuation and can affect import/export declarations.
  SAP controls access to sensitive pricing fields through authorization objects.
  If a user tries to change the ruling price without the required authorization, the system blocks the change and issues message WSTP047.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the authorization object controlling the ruling price change.
  Common authorization objects related to pricing and customs include:
  
  V_T685A (Customs: Authorization for Ruling Price)
  V_T685B (Customs: Authorization for Customs Price)
  Or other related objects depending on your SAP system and module.
  
  
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
  
  Work with your SAP Security/Authorization team to assign the necessary authorization to the user role.
  Typically, this involves adding the relevant authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., change = 02) to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Verify Role and Profile:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Use transaction PFCG to adjust roles and profiles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Change:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the transaction again to confirm the user can now change the ruling price.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The ruling price is often maintained in customs-related transactions such as Foreign Trade/Customs (SAP GTS or ECC SD/LE).
  Changing the ruling price may have legal and compliance implications; hence, SAP restricts this action.
  If you are unsure about the authorization object, check the message class WSTP in transaction SE91 for more details.
  Consult your organization's SAP security policy before granting access to sensitive pricing fields.
