• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD960 - & (entry does not exist yet) ?

  The SAP error message AD960 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the assignment of a user to a role or authorization object. The specific message "entry does not exist yet" suggests that the system is unable to find a required entry in the relevant authorization tables or configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the necessary authorizations assigned to them, or the authorization object required for the transaction is not defined.
  Role Assignment: The user might not be assigned to the appropriate role that contains the necessary authorizations.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the authorization management settings, such as missing entries in the relevant tables.
  Transport Issues: If the roles or authorizations were recently transported from another system, there may have been an issue during the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the authorizations assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization objects.
