• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26290 - No authorization for &1 with document type &2 and status &3 ?

  The SAP error message 26290, which states "No authorization for &1 with document type &2 and status &3," typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action on a document (such as a purchase order, invoice, etc.) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3) represent specific values related to the document, such as the document number, document type, and status.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization to access or modify the specified document type in the given status.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that requires additional permissions (e.g., locked, completed, etc.).
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations for the document type in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the document type and status.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Configuration:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the document type and status are included in the user's role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Document Status Review:
  
  Check if the document is in a status that requires special permissions. If so, ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for that status.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects that may be relevant include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document), M_BEST_EKG (Purchasing Document: Release), and others depending on the specific document type.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) for managing user authorizations.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
