• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CRT_PO_MPRC018 - Not authorized to create PO for pur.grp & and connected system & ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CRT_PO_MPRC018 indicates that a user is not authorized to create a Purchase Order (PO) for a specific purchasing group and connected system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Materials Management (MM) module when a user attempts to create a purchase order but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to create a purchase order for the specified purchasing group.
  Configuration Settings: The purchasing group may be configured in such a way that only certain users or roles can create POs for it.
  Connected System Restrictions: If the PO is being created in a connected system (like a subsidiary or a different company code), there may be additional restrictions or authorizations required.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for the relevant purchasing group.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the purchasing group in question.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to purchasing (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKO, etc.) are included in the user's roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the purchasing group in transaction code OMEC (or similar) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing the user from creating POs.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or configurations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to create the PO again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for purchasing, such as:
  
  M_BEST_BSA: Purchase Order Authorization
  M_BEST_EKO: Purchasing Group Authorization
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  OMEC: Maintain Purchasing Groups
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and purchasing processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message MMPUR_CRT_PO_MPRC018.
