• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KFPR173 - You are not authorized to create a transfer price allocation ?

  The SAP error message KFPR173, which states "You are not authorized to create a transfer price allocation," typically indicates that the user attempting to perform the action does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions to create a transfer price allocation in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required roles or authorizations in their user profile to perform the transfer price allocation.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or authorization objects related to transfer pricing.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the SAP system that restrict certain users from creating transfer price allocations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security team member should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for transfer price allocation.
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., K_TCODE, K_BETR, K_TPRA, etc.) are included in the user’s roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the roles have been updated, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the transfer price allocation again.
