• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+814 - No authorization for material type & ?

  The SAP error message C+814 "No authorization for material type &" indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action on a material of a specific type for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This typically occurs in the context of material master data management, where different material types may have different authorization requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Profile: The user does not have the required authorization profile that includes access to the specified material type.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions for the specific material type they are trying to access or modify.
  Material Type Configuration: The material type may have been configured in such a way that it requires specific authorizations that the user lacks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the material type are included.
  
  
  
  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 specific material type.
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate authorization objects, such as M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: General Data) and M_MATE_MAT (Material Master: Material Type).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
