• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 72104 - No authorization for master data infotype & ?

  The SAP error message 72104, which states "No authorization for master data infotype &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a specific infotype in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the authorization checks that SAP performs to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to access sensitive data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object for the specific infotype they are trying to access.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the infotype in question.
  Infotype-Specific Restrictions: Certain infotypes may have specific restrictions based on the organizational structure or other criteria.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the infotype.
  Review Authorization Objects: 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.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to include the required authorization objects for the infotype.
  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, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific types of information related to personnel, such as personal data, payroll data, and organizational assignments.
  Authorization Objects: These are used in SAP to control access to various functionalities and data. Each infotype may be associated with specific authorization objects that define who can view or modify the data.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 for user maintenance, PFCG for role management, and SU53 for authorization checks.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting documentation specific to your organization's SAP implementation.
