• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_BUPLA017 - No authorization to access designated business place ?

  The SAP error message GLO_BUPLA017 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a designated business place. This error typically arises in the context of business partner management, where specific business places are associated with business partners, and access to these places is controlled through authorization objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations to access the specific business place. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Incorrect Business Place Configuration: The business place may not be correctly configured in the system, or the user may not be assigned to the relevant business place.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include access to the business place in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the required business place.
  
  
  
  Review Business Place Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the business place is correctly set up in the system and that the user is assigned to it. This can be checked in the business partner master data.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., B_BUPA_GRP, B_BUPA_RLT) that control access to business partners and business places. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. You can also test the access using transaction BP (Business Partner) to verify if the user can now access the designated business place.
