• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IS015 - Screen & not permitted for processing ?

  The SAP error message IS015, which states "Screen & not permitted for processing," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a screen or transaction that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various modules within SAP, including but not limited to IS (Industry Solutions) modules.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization to access the specific screen or transaction.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned in their user profile that grant access to the required transaction or screen.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to certain screens based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for authorization failures. This will show you which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should adjust the user’s roles to include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include access to the specific transaction or screen.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team to request the necessary access. Provide them with details about the error and the transaction you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access the screen again.
