• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR847 - You do not have authorization to output ?

  The SAP error message GR847 ("You do not have authorization to output") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to output processing (such as printing or emailing documents) but lacks the necessary authorizations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization for the specific output type or the related authorization object.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for output processing.
  Output Type Configuration: The output type may not be correctly configured in the system, or the user may not be assigned to the relevant output type.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, leading to insufficient permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GR847 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for output processing.
  If roles need to be modified, you can use transaction code PFCG to adjust the roles and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for output processing may include:
  
  N_AUSG (Output Control)
  N_AUSG_T (Output Control for Texts)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for these objects.
  
  
  
  Output Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the output type in transaction NACE or SPRO to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the user is authorized to use it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the output functionality again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
