• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LM133 - You are not authorized to release selected limit &1 ?

  The SAP error message LM133, which states "You are not authorized to release selected limit &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP's logistics or materials management modules, particularly when dealing with release strategies for purchase requisitions or purchase orders. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to release a specific limit or document.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to release the limit does not have the required authorization object assigned in their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to the release strategy.
  Release Strategy Configuration: The release strategy may be configured in such a way that it requires specific authorizations that the user does not possess.
  User Role Changes: Changes in user roles or authorizations may have occurred, leading to the user losing access to certain functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to check the user profile and SU53 to analyze the last authorization check that failed.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to the release strategy (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKO, etc.).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles or modify existing roles to include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Release Strategy Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the release strategy in transaction SPRO. Ensure that the strategy is set up correctly and that the user is included in the appropriate release group.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or release strategy, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to release the limit again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization objects and release strategies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to release strategies in SAP.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to this issue include:
  
  SU01 (User Maintenance)
  SU53 (Authorization Check)
  PFCG (Role Maintenance)
  SPRO (SAP Reference IMG for configuration)
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or bugs related to authorization and release strategies.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to engage with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
