  The SAP error message MW669, which states "There are no authorizations for shipping points," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform actions related to shipping points (such as creating or processing deliveries) but lacks the necessary authorizations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of proper authorization for the user role associated with the shipping points. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects related to shipping points.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes shipping point authorizations.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may have been incorrectly configured.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions at the organizational level that prevent access to certain shipping points.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MW669 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for shipping points (e.g., V_TVST, V_TVST_A, etc.).
  If the roles do not include the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you can either add them to the existing role or create a new role with the required authorizations and assign it to the user.
  
  
  
  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 has the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  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.
