• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_FW_ADS071 - Cannot create safety observation; check authorizations ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_FW_ADS071 indicates that there is an issue with creating a safety observation due to authorization problems. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, particularly when users attempt to create or manage safety observations but lack the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to create the safety observation does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or object authorizations related to safety observations.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to the EHS module may not be included in the user's roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs 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 and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for creating safety observations.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, they need to be updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for creating safety observations (e.g., EHS_OBS, EHS_SAFETY, etc.) and ensure they are included in the user's roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to create the safety observation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
