• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M_RSAO009 - Not authorized to create or change MS document &1 ?

  The SAP error message M_RSAO009 indicates that a user is not authorized to create or change a Material Status (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 appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile that allow them to create or change Material Status documents.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  User Group Restrictions: The user may belong to a user group that is restricted from performing certain actions related to Material Status documents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object 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 authorizations for creating or changing Material Status documents.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify specific missing authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_MAT), you can add them to the user's role or request that your SAP security team do so.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team for assistance. Provide them with the details of the error and any relevant information from the SU53 analysis.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to Material Status documents. Common objects include:
  
  M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Authorization for Material)

  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
