• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRWPC_GENERAL010 - No authorization for reading infotype 'Addresses' ?

  The SAP error message HRWPC_GENERAL010 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read the infotype 'Addresses' in the Human Resources (HR) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access employee address data but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the necessary authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP HR, access to infotypes is controlled by authorization objects such as P_ORGIN (for personnel administration) and P_PERNR (for personnel number).
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations to access the infotype.
  Infotype Configuration: The infotype may be configured in such a way that it restricts access based on certain criteria, such as employee status or organizational unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and check the assigned roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the infotype 'Addresses'.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for accessing HR infotypes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, check the specific authorization objects (like P_ORGIN and P_PERNR) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to read the infotype.
  You may need to adjust the values in the authorization objects to grant the required 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.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific types of information about employees. The 'Addresses' infotype (typically infotype 0006) contains address-related data.
  Authorization Management: SAP uses a role-based access control system, where users are assigned roles that contain authorizations to perform specific actions within the system.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (to create or modify roles)
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further investigation.
