• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSPY098 - You are not authorized to reset the settlement run ?

  The SAP error message CACSPY098 indicates that a user is not authorized to reset the settlement run. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS) modules, where settlement runs are used to allocate costs to various cost objects.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to reset the settlement run. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to perform the reset operation.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific authorization objects related to settlement processes may not be granted to the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow for settlement run resets.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for resetting settlement runs.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as:
  
  K_CTR_ACT (Controlling Area Activity)
  K_CTR_CTP (Controlling Area Cost Object)
  K_CTR_SRV (Controlling Area Service)
  
  
  These objects may need to be checked for the specific activities related to settlement.
  
  
  
  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.
  Attempt to reset the settlement run again to verify that the issue is resolved.
