• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARBERP_MAP158 - User &1 has no authorization to create invoices for plant &2 ?

  The SAP error message ARBERP_MAP158 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create invoices for a specific plant. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Role: The user does not have the required authorization role assigned to them that allows invoice creation for the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Authorization: The user may have general authorization to create invoices but lacks specific authorization for the plant in question.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations for the transaction being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for invoice creation for the specified plant.
  If the user does not have the required role, you may need to assign it to them.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct role but still encounters the error, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with that role. Look for authorization objects related to invoice creation (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BSA for accounting documents) and ensure that the plant is included in the authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help adjust the user’s roles and authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the invoice again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to invoice creation and plant-specific activities.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on user authorizations and roles.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (to analyze user roles and authorizations)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the ARBERP_MAP158 error message.
