• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_MEASPOINT034 - User &2 does not have authority to perform this activity for &1 ?

  The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_MEASPOINT034 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific activity related to measurement points or allocation in the SAP system. This error typically arises in contexts where users are trying to access or manipulate measurement points, such as in the Energy Management or Utilities modules.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user (indicated by &2) to perform the requested action on the specified measurement point (indicated by &1). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the required transaction or function.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to measurement points may not include the necessary permissions for the user.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the measurement point activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID (&2).
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary roles for measurement point activities.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to measurement points (e.g., G_HAUS, G_MESPOINT, etc.).
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify User Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
