• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_RELEASE_CHECK060 - Sorry! You are not authorized to simulate the release check process ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_RELEASE_CHECK060 indicates that a user is not authorized to simulate the release check process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's release strategy for purchasing documents, where certain users may need specific authorizations to perform actions related to release checks.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the release check does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to the release strategy.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or function module that is being accessed.
  Transaction Code Restrictions: The specific transaction code being used may have restrictions that prevent certain users from executing it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the release check process.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Release Strategy) and any other related objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the release check process again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Release Strategy: In SAP, a release strategy is a mechanism that controls the approval process for purchasing documents. It is essential for ensuring that purchases are authorized before they are processed.
  Authorization Objects: These are used in SAP to control access to various functions and transactions. Each object can have multiple fields that define the specific authorizations required.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME28 (Release Purchase Orders) and ME29N (Release Purchase Order) to understand where the error might be occurring.
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations, further investigation into the specific configuration of the release strategy and related settings may be necessary.
