• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPIC_BR_MESSAGE012 - You are not authorized to process BRS & ?

  The SAP error message EPIC_BR_MESSAGE012 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to process Bank Reconciliation Statements (BRS). This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions and bank reconciliation processes within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to process the BRS does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or authorization objects related to bank reconciliation.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up correctly to allow access to the BRS functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to BRS processing.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects related to bank reconciliation, such as F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document) and F_BKPF_BER (Bank Reconciliation).
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the roles are already assigned but do not include the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles in transaction PFCG to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the BRS processing again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
