• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO143 - You are not authorized for order type & / status & ?

  The SAP error message KO143, which states "You are not authorized for order type & / status &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform an action on a specific order type or status for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Controlling (CO) or Production Planning (PP).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or profiles to access the specified order type or status.
  Order Type Configuration: The order type may have specific restrictions set in the system that limit access based on user roles.
  User Profile Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access to certain order types or statuses.
  
  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 code SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for the order type and status are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or add the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include access to the relevant order types and statuses.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, escalate it to your SAP security or basis team. They can analyze the authorization objects related to the order type and status in question.
  
  
  
  Review Order Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the order type in transaction OKA1 (for CO) or CORM (for PP) to ensure that there are no restrictions that could be causing the authorization issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or configurations, have the user log out and back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects for order types in SAP CO may include C_OAOT (Order Type) and C_OAUS (Order Status). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  OKA1: Order Type Configuration
  CORM: Order Management
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue related to the KO143 error message.
