• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSAM_CL013 - No user authorization to add operations ?

  The SAP error message MSAM_CL013 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to add operations in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning or manufacturing processes where users are trying to modify or add operations to a routing or production order.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow for the addition of operations.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required permissions.
  User Profile Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct profile that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MSAM_CL013 error, 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 roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator). Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for adding operations.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to operations in production planning include:
  
  C_APPL (Application Authorization)
  C_PROD (Production Authorization)
  C_MAT (Material Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity codes (e.g., create, change) for the operations they need to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the operation again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
