• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BV164 - No default setting for users who are not classified (long text) ?

  The SAP error message BV164 "No default setting for users who are not classified" typically occurs in the context of user classification and authorization management within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a default setting for a user because the user has not been classified properly.
  Cause:
  
  User Classification: The user in question has not been assigned to a classification group or category that the system recognizes. This can happen if the user is newly created or if there have been changes in the classification settings.
  Missing Default Settings: The system requires default settings for certain operations, and if these settings are not defined for unclassified users, this error will be triggered.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain functionalities, leading to the system's inability to apply default settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Classify the User: Ensure that the user is assigned to the appropriate classification group. This can typically be done in the user management or administration section of SAP.
  
  Navigate to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and check the classification settings for the user.
  Assign the user to the correct classification group if they are not already classified.
  
  
  
  Define Default Settings: If the user classification is correct, check if default settings are defined for that classification group.
  
  Go to the configuration settings for user classifications and ensure that default settings are established for all necessary groups.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Review the user's authorizations to ensure they have the necessary permissions to perform the required actions.
  
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures and adjust the user's roles or profiles as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support resources for further guidance on user classification and default settings.
