• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_TASK183 - You are not authorized to create documents; document &1 not created ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_TASK183 indicates that a user is attempting to create a document but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) or Product Compliance Management (PCM) modules.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user does not have the required permissions to create the document type specified in the error message (indicated by &1).
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can check the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for document creation in the relevant module (EHS/PCM).
  If the user is missing a role, you may need to assign it or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with those roles. This can involve adding the necessary permissions for document creation.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the document again to verify that the issue is resolved.
