• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS123 - No authorization for any of the activity types selected ?

  The SAP error message KS123 ("No authorization for any of the activity types selected") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to cost center accounting or internal orders, but their user profile lacks the necessary authorizations for the selected activity types.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization for the activity types they are trying to access. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific activity types in the cost center or internal order.
  Activity Type Restrictions: The activity types may be restricted in the configuration settings, and the user does not have access to any of the allowed activity types.
  
  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 is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the activity types in question.
  If the user is missing roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the roles are present but do not include the necessary authorizations, the security team may need to modify the roles to include the required activity types.
  This can be done using transaction PFCG to adjust the authorization objects related to cost center accounting or internal orders.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects for cost center accounting typically include K_CCACTVT (Activity Type) and K_CCACTVT (Cost Center).
  SAP Security Team: If you are not part of the SAP security team, you may need to collaborate with them to resolve authorization issues.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the KS123 error effectively.
