• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APPL_MM_PR007 - You are not authorized to create an RFQ for the plant '&1' ?

  The SAP error message APPL_MM_PR007 indicates that a user is not authorized to create a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a specific plant. This error typically arises in the Materials Management (MM) module when a user attempts to perform an action that their user role does not permit.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorization to create RFQs for the specified plant. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general authorization to create RFQs but lacks specific authorization for the plant in question.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the RFQ transaction (e.g., ME41, ME47).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations for creating RFQs for the specified plant.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for creating RFQs typically include:
  
  M_BEST_BSA: Purchase Document Types
  M_BEST_EKO: Purchasing Organization
  M_BEST_WERK: Plant
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects, particularly for the plant in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to create the RFQ again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
