• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_RUN_ALLOCATION012 - Missing authorization for productive run ?

  The SAP error message FCO_RUN_ALLOCATION012 indicates that a user is attempting to execute a productive run of a financial allocation process but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error typically arises in the context of financial accounting or controlling processes where specific roles and permissions are required to perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed based on roles and profiles assigned to users, and if a user tries to execute a transaction or process for which they do not have the necessary permissions, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the FCO_RUN_ALLOCATION012 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to review the roles assigned to your user account. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for executing productive runs of allocation processes.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If specific authorization objects are identified as missing, the security team can modify existing roles or create new roles to include the required authorizations. Common authorization objects related to financial allocations may include:
  
  F_SKA1_AEN (Authorization for G/L Account Master Data)
  F_FCO1_AEN (Authorization for Allocation Runs)
  F_FCO1_AKT (Authorization for Allocation Execution)
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been assigned, test the allocation process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
