• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_APPL_SE_INV026 - You have no authorization for this operation in plant & ?

  The SAP error message OPS_APPL_SE_INV026 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific operation in a particular plant. This error typically arises in the context of inventory management or operations within SAP, where user roles and authorizations are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object for the operation they are trying to perform in the specified plant.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific plant or transaction.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: Authorizations can be plant-specific, meaning that a user may have access to certain plants but not others.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 operation in the specified plant.
  
  
  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 need to be granted.
  
  
  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 operation in the specified plant.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Use transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to review and adjust the roles and authorizations. Ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, etc.) are included in the role.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, 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.
