• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDOC_ADAPTER663 - You do not have authorization to create new entries ?

  The SAP error message IDOC_ADAPTER663, which states "You do not have authorization to create new entries," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify an IDoc (Intermediate Document) but lacks the necessary authorizations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role or profile that is being used to perform the IDoc operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for IDoc processing.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow for IDoc creation or modification.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these 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 Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to IDoc processing. Common authorization objects include:
  
  S_IDOC (IDoc: Authorization for IDoc processing)
  S_TCODE (Authorization for transaction codes)
  
  
  Make sure the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., create, change) for IDocs.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the IDoc operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
