• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /OSP/A_MSG123 - No Information Worker Application Role assigned to ERP role &1 ?

  The SAP error message /OSP/A_MSG123 No Information Worker Application Role assigned to ERP role &1 typically indicates that there is a missing configuration in the role assignment for the Information Worker (IW) applications in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Business Suite applications, particularly when integrating with SAP's Information Worker solutions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an ERP role (the role assigned to a user in the SAP system) does not have an associated Information Worker Application Role. This means that the system cannot find the necessary permissions or configurations to allow the user to access the Information Worker functionalities.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Role Assignment:
  
  Go to the SAP GUI and navigate to the transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Enter the ERP role indicated in the error message (replace &1 with the actual role name).
  Check the role's details to see if there is an Information Worker Application Role assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Information Worker Application Role:
  
  If there is no Information Worker Application Role assigned, you will need to assign one.
  You can do this by editing the role in PFCG and adding the appropriate Information Worker Application Role under the "Menu" tab or "Authorizations" tab, depending on your system configuration.
  
  
  
  Create a New Role (if necessary):
  
  If an appropriate Information Worker Application Role does not exist, you may need to create a new one.
  This can be done in PFCG by creating a new role and assigning the necessary IW authorizations.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are transported to the production environment as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the error persists.
  Test the functionality to ensure that the user can access the Information Worker applications without issues.
