• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK619 - Authorization for marking was not given ?

  The SAP error message CK619, which states "Authorization for marking was not given," typically occurs in the context of the Material Management (MM) or Controlling (CO) modules when a user attempts to perform an action related to marking or unmarking materials in the system, but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user role attempting to perform the marking operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object for marking materials.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow marking actions.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the required authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CK619 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to review the user’s roles and profiles. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the authorization for marking.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles. This can be done using transaction code PFCG:
  
  Open the relevant role.
  Add the necessary authorization objects related to marking (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MAR).
  Generate the profile after making changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the marking operation again.
