• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_APPL_SE_INV059 - You are not authorized to view data for plant &1 ?

  The SAP error message OPS_APPL_SE_INV059 indicates that a user is attempting to access data for a specific plant (denoted by &1) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to view data for the specified plant. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user’s profile may be restricted to certain plants, and the plant in question is not included in their authorized list.
  Role Changes: Recent changes to user roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access to the plant.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user needs access to the plant, you may need to add the appropriate authorization object to their role. Common authorization objects related to plant access include:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document)
  M_BEST_EKG (Purchasing Document: Plant)
  M_MATE_MAR (Material Master)
  
  
  Ensure that the plant in question is included in the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and details about the access needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test access to the plant data again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to plant data. This can help in troubleshooting similar issues in the future.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP’s official documentation for detailed information on authorization concepts and how to manage user roles effectively.
  Training: Consider training sessions for users and administrators on SAP security and authorization management to prevent similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OPS_APPL_SE_INV059 error and restore the necessary access for the user.
