  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53641 - No authorization to release key date & for personnel number & ?

    The SAP error message "53641 No authorization to release key date & for personnel number &" typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action related to personnel data (such as releasing a key date) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This error is common in HR modules where sensitive employee data is managed.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform the action on the specified personnel number.
    2. Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to release key dates for personnel records.
    3. Organizational Structure: The user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units or may not have the necessary access to the specific personnel number.
    4. Data Protection Regulations: There may be restrictions in place due to data protection policies that limit access to certain personnel data.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
      • Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
    2. Modify Roles:

      • If the user lacks the required authorization, a security administrator should modify the user's role to include the necessary authorization objects (e.g., P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, etc.) that allow for the release of key dates.
    3. Organizational Assignment:

      • Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct organizational units that correspond to the personnel number they are trying to access.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or basis team to review and adjust the authorizations as needed.
    5. Documentation and Training:

      • Ensure that users are trained on the authorization requirements for their roles and understand the processes involved in handling personnel data.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to HR data include:
      • P_ORGIN: Personnel Administration
      • P_PERNR: Personnel Number
      • P_TCODE: Transaction Code
