• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDPP002 - You do not have authorization to access the blocked business partner &1 ?

  The SAP error message EDPP002 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific business partner that has been blocked. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Business Partner (BP) management, where certain business partners may be blocked for various reasons, such as compliance issues, credit limits, or other business rules.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to access the business partner does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in their user profile.
  Business Partner Status: The business partner in question is marked as blocked, which may restrict access based on company policies or system configurations.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that allow them to view or manage blocked business partners.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization roles in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to check the user profile and assigned roles.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the business partner management activities, particularly for accessing blocked business partners.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should modify the user's roles to include the required permissions. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to business partner access.
  
  
  
  Review Business Partner Status:
  
  If the business partner is blocked for legitimate reasons, consider whether the user should have access to it. If access is necessary, the business partner's status may need to be reviewed and potentially unblocked by an authorized user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If there are uncertainties regarding the authorization setup, it may be beneficial to consult with the SAP security team or the person responsible for user management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the policies regarding blocked business partners and the implications of accessing them. Providing training on authorization management can help prevent similar issues in the future.
