• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCM009 - No authorization for creating a simulation order ?

  The SAP error message COCM009, which states "No authorization for creating a simulation order," typically occurs when a user attempts to create a simulation order in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to create simulation orders. This is often related to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or function.
  Transaction Code: The user might be using a transaction code that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object 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 PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for creating simulation orders.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for creating simulation orders is typically C_CCM_ORD (for controlling simulation orders). Ensure that the user has the necessary values assigned to this object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the simulation order again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to the specific transactions you are working with.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the COCM009 error and successfully create simulation orders in SAP.
