  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F5087 - You have no authorization for posting with document type & ?

    The SAP error message F5087, which states "You have no authorization for posting with document type &," typically indicates that the user attempting to post a document does not have the necessary authorization for the specified document type. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO).

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorization: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific document type.
    2. Document Type Configuration: The document type may be configured in such a way that it restricts access to certain users or roles.
    3. User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the required authorizations for the document type in question.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles:

      • Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
      • Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for the document type.
    2. Review Authorization Objects:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization object is missing.
      • Look for authorization objects related to financial postings, such as F_BKPF_BLA (Authorization for Document Type) and F_BKPF_BER (Authorization for Company Code).
    3. Modify Roles:

      • If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
      • This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
      • Attempt the posting again to verify that the issue has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Document Types: Document types in SAP are used to categorize different types of financial transactions (e.g., invoices, credit memos). Each document type can have specific authorizations associated with it.
    • Authorization Concept: SAP uses a role-based authorization concept where users are assigned roles that contain specific authorizations. Each authorization is linked to an authorization object that defines the access rights.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue related to the F5087 error message in SAP.
