• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUT006 - Logging is switched off for the current client &1 ?

  The SAP error message AUT006 indicates that logging is switched off for the current client. This typically occurs in the context of authorization logging, where the system is unable to log authorization checks due to the logging being disabled.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the AUT006 error message is that the authorization logging feature is not enabled for the client you are working in. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The logging feature has been intentionally disabled by a system administrator.
  The client settings do not allow for logging due to performance considerations or other administrative policies.
  The system may be in a state where logging is not applicable, such as during certain maintenance activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AUT006 error, you need to enable authorization logging for the client. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Log in to the SAP system with a user that has the necessary authorizations to change client settings (usually a user with administrative privileges).
  
  
  Access the transaction code SCC4 (Client Administration).
  
  
  Select the client for which you want to enable logging.
  
  
  Edit the client settings:
  
  Look for the option related to "Logging" or "Authorization Logging."
  Ensure that the logging is enabled. This may involve checking a checkbox or setting a parameter to allow logging.
  
  
  
  Save the changes and exit the transaction.
  
  
  Test the changes by performing the action that previously resulted in the AUT006 error to confirm that logging is now enabled.
