• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAMS_UI_MISC104 - You are not authorized to create an order ?

  The SAP error message EAMS_UI_MISC104 ("You are not authorized to create an order") typically indicates that the user attempting to create an order does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions in the SAP system. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of Asset Management or Plant Maintenance.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to create an order. This could be due to missing roles or profiles assigned to the user.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (like company code, plant, etc.) that prevent the user from creating orders in certain contexts.
  Transaction-Specific Restrictions: Some transactions may have specific authorization checks that are not covered by the general roles assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects (like I_ORDER, I_EAM, etc.) are included in the roles.
  If the user needs to create orders, ensure that the role includes the necessary permissions for the relevant transaction codes (e.g., IW31 for creating maintenance orders).
  
  
  
  Organizational Level Permissions:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct organizational level permissions. This may involve checking if the user is assigned to the correct company code, plant, or other relevant organizational units.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the processes and requirements for creating orders in SAP. Providing training or documentation can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control order creation in your specific SAP environment.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to authorization issues for your specific version of SAP, as there may be known issues or patches available.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking authorizations, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP helpdesk for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the EAMS_UI_MISC104 error.
