• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 881107 - You are not permitted to enter document category &1 on this screen ?

  The SAP error message 881107, which states "You are not permitted to enter document category &1 on this screen," typically occurs when a user attempts to enter a document category that they do not have authorization to use in a specific transaction or screen. This is a common issue related to user authorizations and roles within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific document category.
  Configuration Settings: The document category may be restricted in the configuration settings of the SAP system, preventing certain users from accessing it.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions for the document category in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to ensure that the necessary permissions for the document category are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the document category.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  If the document category is restricted at the configuration level, a system administrator should review the configuration settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO) to ensure that the document category is available for the intended users.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or security team for specific details on the document category and its associated authorizations.
