• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CRT_PO_MPRC017 - Not authorized to create PO for pur.org & and connected system & ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CRT_PO_MPRC017 indicates that a user is not authorized to create a Purchase Order (PO) for a specific purchasing organization and connected system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Materials Management (MM) module when a user attempts to create a PO but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to create a PO for the specified purchasing organization.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations related to PO creation.
  Purchasing Organization Settings: The purchasing organization may have specific settings that restrict access to certain users or groups.
  Connected System Restrictions: If the PO is being created in a connected system (like a subsidiary or a different SAP instance), there may be additional restrictions or configurations that limit access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for creating POs.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the purchasing organization.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects, such as:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchase Order)
  M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Organization)
  
  
  
  
  
  Purchasing Organization Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the purchasing organization in transaction OMEC (Define Purchasing Organizations) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the user is assigned to the appropriate purchasing group.
  
  
  
  Check Connected System Settings:
  
  If the PO is being created in a connected system, ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations in that system as well. This may involve checking cross-system roles or configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to refresh their session and test the PO creation again.
