• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3G155 - No authorization to start a posting run of type &1 ?

  The SAP error message 3G155 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to start a posting run of a specific type (denoted by &1). This error typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, such as posting runs for invoices, payments, or other financial documents.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. SAP uses a role-based access control system, and if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to execute the specific posting run, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the authorization for the specific posting run type.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  The relevant authorization objects may include F_BKPF_BLA, F_BKPF_BER, or others depending on the specific posting run type.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to start the posting run again to verify that the issue is resolved.
