• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON018 - No Authorisation to create items for Plant &1 ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON018 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create items for a specific plant in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where authorization roles and profiles are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Role: The user does not have the required authorization role assigned to their user profile that allows them to create items for the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general permissions but lacks specific permissions for the plant in question.
  Authorization Object Issues: The relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_WRK, etc.) may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, 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 code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for creating items in the specified plant.
  If the user does not have the required role, you may need to assign it or request it from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, check the authorization objects associated with those roles. Ensure that the objects include the necessary authorizations for the specific plant.
  You may need to work with your SAP security administrator to adjust the authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for material management, such as:

  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (to manage roles and authorizations)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization errors in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user authorizations and roles to better understand how to manage and troubleshoot authorization issues.
