• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KG060 - No authorization to use this plan version ?

  The SAP error message KG060 ("No authorization to use this plan version") typically occurs when a user attempts to access a plan version in the SAP system for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This is common in modules related to Controlling (CO), particularly in planning functions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the specific plan version.
  Plan Version Settings: The plan version may be restricted to certain user groups or roles, and the user does not belong to those groups.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific plan version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. The relevant authorization objects for planning might include:
  
  C_KLAF_V (Authorization for Plan Versions)
  C_KLAF_A (Authorization for Plan Activities)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has access to the specific plan version they are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the plan version you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Plan Version Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the plan version in transaction KP04 (Change Plan Version) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the necessary authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage in planning.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in planning.
  Training: Consider training for users on how to manage their authorizations and understand the planning process in SAP.
