• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M_RSAO004 - Not authorized to create MS document &1 ?

  The SAP error message M_RSAO004 indicates that a user is not authorized to create a Material Document (MS document) in the system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of necessary authorizations in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for creating Material Documents.
  User Status: The user might be in a status that restricts their ability to perform certain actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for creating Material Documents. Common authorization objects related to material documents include:
  
  M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data)
  M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: General Data)
  M_MATE_BW (Material Master: Basic Data)
  M_MATE_MAT (Material Master: Material Data)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the changes are transported to the relevant environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that it has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage.
