• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER020 - You are not authorized for the product data report ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MANAGER020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access the product data report in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) or Product Compliance Management (PCM) modules.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user attempting to access the product data report. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that grant access to the product data report.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Even if the user has some roles, specific authorization objects related to product data reporting may not be included in those roles.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transactions or reports.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the product data report.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects required for accessing the product data report. Common authorization objects in EHS/PCM include EHPRC_* objects.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create new roles that include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned and that the changes are transported to the relevant environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to refresh their session.
  Test access to the product data report again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
