  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI203 - User &1 does not have authority to modify theoritical override for &2 ?

    The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI203 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to modify the theoretical override for a specific object (in this case, represented by &2). This error typically arises in the context of SAP's allocation or planning processes, where certain users may need specific permissions to make changes to theoretical overrides.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the action does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in their user profile.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for modifying theoretical overrides.
    3. Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object (&2) that prevent certain users from making modifications.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
      • Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
    2. Modify User Roles:

      • If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign additional roles that include the required permissions. This can be done by a system administrator or someone with the appropriate access.
      • Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorization objects related to modifying theoretical overrides.
    3. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
    4. Documentation and Training:

      • Ensure that users are aware of the permissions required for their tasks. Providing documentation or training on the necessary authorizations can help prevent similar issues in the future.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to allocation and planning functions in SAP. Common objects might include S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, or specific objects related to the allocation process.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional context or updates that may address known issues.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PFCG (Role Maintenance) for managing roles and authorizations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to grant the necessary permissions to the user.
