• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_SRL008 - Few variants excluded; you are not authorized to access Plant, MRP Cont. ?

  The SAP error message FSH_SRL008 indicates that certain variants have been excluded from processing because the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access specific data related to the Plant and MRP (Material Requirements Planning) Controller. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's variant configuration or when dealing with specific materials and their associated data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to access the variants does not have the required authorization for the specified Plant or MRP Controller. This can happen if the user’s role does not include access to certain organizational units or if the authorization objects are not properly configured.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain variants are restricted based on user roles or organizational structures.
  Data Restrictions: The data associated with the Plant or MRP Controller may have been restricted due to business rules or settings in the system.
  
  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 object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the Plant and MRP Controller in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to Plant and MRP Controller access.
  
  
  
  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. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to variant management and authorization checks in the system. Ensure that there are no additional restrictions that could be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, test the access again to ensure that the user can now access the required variants without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects that may be relevant include M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data) and M_MRP_MAT (MRP: Material Master).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) for managing user roles and authorizations.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
