• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CR355 - You are not authorized to & a hierarchy in plant & ?

  The SAP error message CR355, which states "You are not authorized to & a hierarchy in plant &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform an action on a hierarchy (such as a cost center hierarchy, profit center hierarchy, etc.) in a specific plant for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to access or modify the hierarchy in the specified plant.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific hierarchy or plant.
  Hierarchy Settings: The hierarchy settings may restrict access based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations for accessing the hierarchy in the specified plant.
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_HIER for hierarchy access) are included in the user's roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
