• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE335 - You are not authorized to create a derivation structure ?

  The SAP error message KE335, "You are not authorized to create a derivation structure," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify a derivation structure in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary permissions to perform specific actions. If a user does not have the required authorization object for creating or modifying derivation structures, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the KE335 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for creating derivation structures in CO are typically K_CCA (Controlling Area) and K_CCT (Cost Center). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the necessary authorizations. This may involve adding the user to a role that has the required permissions or creating a custom role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the derivation structure again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific authorizations required, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP security team for guidance on the necessary roles and authorizations for working with derivation structures.
