• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON068 - No Authorisation to create items for External Plant &1 ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON068 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create items for an external plant in the system. This error typically arises in the context of procurement processes, particularly when dealing with external plants or vendors.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions to create or manage materials or items associated with an external plant. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the required authorization objects related to material management or procurement.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow for item creation in external plants.
  Plant-Specific Authorizations: The user may have authorizations for certain plants but not for the specific external plant in question.
  
  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.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to material management include:
  
  M_MATE_MAR: Material Master: General Data
  M_MATE_WRK: Material Master: Plant Data
  M_MATE_BAS: Material Master: Basic Data
  
  
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the specific external plant.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the specific external plant involved.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the functionality again to ensure that the user can now create items for the external plant without encountering the error.
