  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP236 - No authorization to change task list type & status & usage & plant & ?

    The SAP error message CP236 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to change a task list in the system. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a task list type, status, usage, or plant without the appropriate permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to perform the action on the task list.
    2. Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the specific task list type or plant.
    3. Task List Status: The task list may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., released or locked).
    4. Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may not have access to the specific plant associated with the task list.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
      • Review the authorization objects related to task lists, such as C_TPLK_A (Task List Authorization) and C_TPLK_T (Task List Type Authorization).
    2. Role Adjustment:

      • Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for changing task lists.
      • If needed, create or modify roles to include the required authorizations.
    3. Task List Status:

      • Verify the status of the task list. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status or create a new task list.
    4. Plant Authorization:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific plant. This may involve checking the user’s plant assignments in their user profile.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing task lists and authorizations.
    6. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and back in to test if the issue is resolved.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
