• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCOM_PLANNING_CORE028 - Missing authorizations for planning on project &1 ?

  The SAP error message FCOM_PLANNING_CORE028 indicates that a user is attempting to perform a planning operation on a project but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Controlling (CO) modules, where specific authorizations are required to access and manipulate planning data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for planning activities.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Even if the user has a role, the specific authorization objects related to project planning may not be included or may have restrictions that prevent access.
  Project-Specific Authorizations: The user may not have been granted access to the specific project they are trying to plan for.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations. This transaction will show you which authorization checks failed.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization objects for planning in the project.
  Common authorization objects related to project planning include:
  
  C_PROJ: Project Management
  C_PRCM: Project Controlling
  C_PRCF: Planning Functions
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Project-Specific Authorizations:
  
  If the planning is project-specific, ensure that the user has been granted access to the specific project in question. This may involve setting up project-specific authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to assist in resolving the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
