  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW608 - There is no authorization for any order type ?

    The SAP error message MW608 ("There is no authorization for any order type") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to order management (such as creating, changing, or displaying an order) but lacks the necessary authorizations for the specific order type they are trying to access.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization for the specific order type they are trying to work with. This can happen if the user role does not include permissions for that order type.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations for the order types in question.
    3. Profile Issues: The user’s authorization profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the order types.

    2. Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are required.

    3. Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the order types.

    4. Testing: After making changes to the 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 issue is resolved.

    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user authorizations to ensure compliance with security policies.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to order types include M_MATE_WRK (Material Management: Work Center), M_MATE_MRP (Material Management: MRP), and others depending on the specific order type (e.g., production orders, purchase orders).
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization management.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
