• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH103 - You are not authorized to assign partners with function &1 ?

  The SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH103 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to assign partners with a specific function in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to assign a partner (such as a contact person, organization, or other business partner) to a business transaction (like a sales order, opportunity, etc.) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorization object that allows them to assign partners with the specified function (denoted by &1 in the error message).
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following 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 Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Check if the roles include the necessary authorizations for partner assignments.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role to include the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to partner functions include:
  
  B_BUPA_RLT (Business Partner Relationship)
  B_BUPA_FCT (Business Partner Functions)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for the partner function they are trying to assign.
  
  
  
  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 authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the partner assignment again.
