  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING106 - Authorization field &1 is missing in the authorization object &2 ?

    The SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING106 indicates that there is a missing authorization field in the specified authorization object. This typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations, but the necessary authorization field is not present in the user's authorization profile.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorization Field: The user does not have the required authorization field in the specified authorization object. This can happen if the user's role does not include the necessary permissions or if the authorization object has been incorrectly configured.
    2. Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations.
    3. Changes in Authorization Objects: If there have been recent changes to the authorization objects or roles, it may lead to missing authorizations for users.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization was missing.
      • Review the user's roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 or PFCG.
    2. Modify Roles:

      • If the required authorization field is indeed missing, you will need to modify the relevant role(s) using transaction code PFCG.
      • Add the necessary authorization object and fields to the role that the user is assigned to.
    3. Assign Correct Roles:

      • Ensure that the user has been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
      • Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Authorization objects in SAP are used to control access to various transactions and data. Each object can have multiple fields that define specific authorizations.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU53: Display authorization check.

      • PFCG: Role maintenance.
