• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ142 - You are not allowed to add business partner data ?

  The SAP error message FQ142, which states "You are not allowed to add business partner data," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify business partner data but lacks the necessary authorizations or permissions to perform that action. This error is often related to the configuration of user roles and authorizations within the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to create or modify business partner data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for business partner management.
  Business Partner Status: The business partner may be in a status that does not allow changes or additions.
  Data Locking: The business partner data might be locked by another user or process, preventing modifications.
  
  Solutions:

  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:

  Check Business Partner Status:
  
  Verify the status of the business partner in question. If it is inactive or locked, you may need to unlock or activate it before making changes.
