  The SAP error message FSH_MSG_CL_VAS067 indicates that a user is not authorized to maintain documents in a specific purchasing group. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform actions related to purchasing documents (like purchase orders or contracts) but lacks the necessary authorizations for the specified purchasing group.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned to them for the specific purchasing group.
  Purchasing Group Configuration: The purchasing group may be configured in such a way that only certain users or roles can maintain documents related to it.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the purchasing group in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the required permissions for the purchasing group.
  If the purchasing group is restricted, consider discussing with your SAP security team to determine if the user should be granted access.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the necessary authorizations for the user.
  
  
  
  Review Purchasing Group Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the purchasing group in transaction OMEC (Define Purchasing Groups) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the intended users have access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects for purchasing groups typically include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Group) and M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Organization).
