• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IP621 - Preventive maintenance plan simulation not possible: no authorization ?

  The SAP error message IP621 indicates that a user is attempting to simulate a preventive maintenance plan but lacks the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module when a user tries to access or execute a function for which they do not have the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The most common cause is that the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to simulate preventive maintenance plans.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to preventive maintenance may not be assigned to the user’s profile.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the necessary permissions for the PM module.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has roles that include the necessary authorizations for preventive maintenance activities.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as:
  
  I_P_MAINT (Maintenance Management)
  I_P_MAINT_PLAN (Maintenance Plan)
  I_P_MAINT_ORDER (Maintenance Order)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to simulate the preventive maintenance plan again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to user authorizations and the PM module to understand the necessary permissions for various actions.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to manage their authorizations and understand the role-based access control in SAP.
