• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3855 - No authorization to process data for plant & ?

  The SAP error message M3855, which states "No authorization to process data for plant &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to a specific plant in the SAP system. This can occur in various transactions related to materials management, production planning, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles or authorizations that allow access to the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Authorizations: Authorizations in SAP can be plant-specific, meaning that even if a user has general access to certain transactions, they may not have access to specific plants.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may not be part of the correct organizational units.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or organizational structure may have affected the user's access.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, use transaction code SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should assign the appropriate roles that include access to the required plant.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but still not granting access, check the authorization objects related to plant access (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_DATA, etc.) and ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific plant.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team to investigate and resolve the authorization issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to plant data. Common objects include:
  
  M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data)
  M_MATE_DATA (Material Master: General Data)
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (for security administrators)
  
  
  
  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 authorization issue related to the SAP error message M3855.
