• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE009 - User has no authorization for purchasing organization &1 ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE009 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions related to a specific purchasing organization identified by &1. This error typically arises in the context of purchasing documents or when trying to access archived data related to purchasing.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user for the specified purchasing organization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that include permissions for the purchasing organization in question.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to purchasing (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKO, etc.) may not include the purchasing organization or may have restrictions that prevent access.
  User Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that remove access to certain purchasing organizations can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you will need to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the purchasing organization. This can be done by a user administrator or someone with the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correctly assigned but the user still faces issues, check the authorization objects associated with the roles. Ensure that the purchasing organization is included in the authorizations.
  You may need to adjust the values in the authorization objects to include the relevant purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the action again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for purchasing, such as:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Group)
  M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Organization)
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (to manage roles and authorizations)
  
  
  
  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 causing the MMPUR_ARCHIVE009 error.
