• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR843 - You do not have authorization for these selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message GR843 ("You do not have authorization for these selection criteria") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report in SAP that requires specific authorizations that the user does not possess. This can happen in various modules, including Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), and others.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary authorization objects that are required for the selection criteria they are trying to use.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned to their user profile that include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the transaction may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing certain data or executing specific actions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, leading to missing or incorrect authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify that the user has the correct roles assigned. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  Modify Roles: If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) to include the required authorization objects.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects that might be relevant include M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document), M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Release), and others depending on the specific transaction.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 for user maintenance, PFCG for role maintenance, and SU53 for authorization checks.
