• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_GENERAL070 - You are not authorized to withdraw the promise to pay ?

  The SAP error message FDM_GENERAL070 ("You are not authorized to withdraw the promise to pay") typically occurs in the context of the Financial Data Management (FDM) module when a user attempts to withdraw or cancel a promise to pay (a commitment to make a payment) but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to withdraw a promise to pay. This can be due to:
  
  Missing authorization objects in the user's role.
  Incorrectly configured authorization profiles.
  Changes in user roles or responsibilities that have not been updated in the system.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the SAP system that restrict certain actions based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization roles in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. This may involve:
  
  Adding specific authorization objects related to financial transactions.
  Ensuring that the user has the necessary permissions to withdraw promises to pay.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Training and Documentation:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the processes and understand the permissions required for various actions within the FDM module.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (for role changes)
