• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIU_VOLUME102 - You are not authorized to execute the transaction ?

  The SAP error message OIU_VOLUME102, which states "You are not authorized to execute the transaction," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that grants access to the specific transaction or function.

  Test Access: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
