How To Fix CRMN_REPORT120 - PARTNER_NO_SECOND/PARTNER_PFT_SECOND not usable due to authorization

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRMN_REPORT - Reporting: Messages

• Message number: 120

• Message text: PARTNER_NO_SECOND/PARTNER_PFT_SECOND not usable due to authorization

What causes this issue?

Program error: These search criteria cannot be used by the application
in this case.

System Response

These search criteria are reserved for the authorization check in the
Reporting Framework. They can only be used by applications if this will
not lead to collision after FM CRM_REPORT_RF_CHECK_AUTHORITY (the
authorization check does not require the search criteria in this case).

How to fix this error?

If FM CRM_REPORT_RF_CHECK_AUTHORITY does not permit an external
application, the Reporting Framework should be called up twice.
- First call up with first partner
- Second call up with second partner and the GUID list from the first
step
Whether the authorization itself requires the search criteria depends on
the problem and the search criteria. Therefore, it is advisable to use
the if-then-else statement:
CALL CRM_REPORT_RF_CHECK_AUTHORITY.

<call RFW only once with both partners>

<call RFW twice as described above>

Procedure for System Administrators
