  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create items for a specific Purchasing Organization (PO). This error typically arises when a user attempts to create or modify purchase requisitions or purchase orders but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile for the specific Purchasing Organization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects related to purchasing activities.
  Incorrectly Assigned Roles: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include permissions for the Purchasing Organization in question.
  Organizational Structure Changes: Changes in the organizational structure or purchasing organization settings may lead to authorization issues.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required purchasing activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this 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 SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the Purchasing Organization. Common authorization objects for purchasing include:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Group)
  M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Organization)
  M_BEST_VKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Vendor)
  
  
  If the roles do not include the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s 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 error has been resolved.
