• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ASU/GENERAL013 - No authorization to store document &1 within Businss Document Server ?

  The SAP error message /ASU/GENERAL013 No authorization to store document &1 within Business Document Server indicates that a user is attempting to store a document in the Business Document Server (BDS) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This error typically arises in scenarios where document management is integrated with SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to store documents in the BDS. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user.
  Configuration Issues: The Business Document Server may not be properly configured, or the document type being used may not have the necessary settings for the user.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have specific restrictions or require additional authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for document storage are included.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects, such as S_DATA, S_DOCUMENT, or any other relevant authorization objects related to document management.
  If the user needs to store documents, they may require the S_BDS_AUTH authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 01 for create).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, consult with your SAP security team to review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the document type being used. Ensure that it is set up correctly in the BDS and that there are no restrictions preventing the user from storing documents of that type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or configurations, test the document storage process again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
