• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CC187 - No authorization to create effectivity parameters ?

  The SAP error message CC187, which states "No authorization to create effectivity parameters," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify effectivity parameters in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile. This can happen if the user role does not include permissions for creating or modifying effectivity parameters.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the necessary transactions or activities related to effectivity parameters.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to the transaction or activity may be missing from the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 or PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for creating effectivity parameters.
  If the user needs to create effectivity parameters, ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as C_TPLM_EFF (for effectivity management).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG to include the required authorizations.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user roles and authorizations in your organization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to create the effectivity parameters again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to effectivity parameters. This may include objects related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., PLM, MM).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and specific transactions related to effectivity parameters.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the processes and requirements for creating effectivity parameters, including understanding the importance of having the correct authorizations.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
