• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPN021 - No authorization to archive AMPL records in plant & ?

  The SAP error message MPN021 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to archive AMPL (Material Master Data) records in a specific plant. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform archiving operations without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to perform archiving for AMPL records in the specified plant.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct user roles that include archiving permissions.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The authorization may be restricted to certain plants, and the user is trying to archive records in a plant where they do not have permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, a system administrator or security officer should assign the appropriate roles that include archiving permissions for AMPL records.
  Common roles that may include these permissions are related to Material Management (MM) or specific archiving roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for archiving AMPL records may include M_MATE_MAR (Material Master) and M_MATE_MAR_A (Material Master Archive).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects, particularly for the plant in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which roles to assign or how to modify authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or BASIS team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt the archiving process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
