  The SAP error message "61406 No authorization for &1 and planning scenario &2" typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a planning scenario or a specific object (denoted by &1) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This error is common in SAP environments that utilize planning tools, such as SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specified planning scenario or object.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the planning scenario or object.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: There may be restrictions in the authorization objects that govern access to planning scenarios or specific data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the planning scenario and object.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_BPC for BPC or S_IP for IBP, depending on the context.
  
  
  
  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 making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the specific authorization objects related to the planning tool you are using (e.g., S_BPC, S_IP, etc.).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization management and best practices.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Authorization Check Analysis
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to grant the necessary authorizations to the user.
