• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IHC760 - Error while checking authorization: & / & / & ?

  The SAP error message IHC760 typically indicates an authorization issue when trying to perform a specific action in the Integrated Financial Management (IHC) module. The message format usually includes placeholders (represented by "& / & / &") that indicate the specific authorization object or action that is being checked.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or access a function for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the action being performed may not be properly configured or may have restrictions that prevent access.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, leading to insufficient permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IHC760 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations. This may involve working with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are causing the issue. You can do this by checking the details in the error message or using transaction SU21 to look up the relevant authorization objects.
  Ensure that the authorization objects are correctly configured and that the user has the necessary values assigned.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the IHC module for any specific guidance on authorization issues.
