• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_USERDEF025 - Authorization missing for connected plant &1 and company code &2 ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_USERDEF025 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action related to a specific plant and company code but lacks the necessary authorizations. This error typically arises in the context of purchasing or materials management processes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the required authorization for the user to access or perform operations in the specified plant (&1) and company code (&2). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the specified plant and company code.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to purchasing or materials management may not include the necessary values for the plant and company code.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations. This will show you which specific authorization objects are lacking.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include access to the specified plant and company code.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured to include the necessary authorization objects (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, etc.) with the correct values for the plant and company code.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are assigned but still do not provide access, you may need to modify the authorization objects to include the required plant and company code values.
  This can be done in transaction PFCG by editing the role and adjusting the authorization data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user receives the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the error is resolved.
