• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APPL_COMMON002 - You have no authorization for plant &1. ?

  The SAP error message APPL_COMMON002 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific plant (denoted by &1) in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where authorization checks are strictly enforced to ensure that users can only access data and perform actions relevant to their roles.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that grants access to the specified plant.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations for the plant.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user’s authorizations may be limited to certain plants, and the plant in question is not included in their authorization profile.
  User Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access to the plant.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user’s profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the plant in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for plant access typically include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document) and M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Plant).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects, particularly for the plant in question.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user does not have the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the specified plant.
  If roles need to be created or modified, ensure that they are properly tested before being assigned to users.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorizations. You can create or modify roles to include the necessary authorizations for the plant.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access to the plant again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
