• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO_CH_BAPI080 - You have no access; Authorization object check failed ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO_CH_BAPI080 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action related to purchase orders (PO) in the system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a function or transaction that requires certain authorizations, but their user profile does not meet the required criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary authorizations for the specific action they are trying to perform, which is checked against the relevant authorization objects.
  Authorization Object Check: The system checks against specific authorization objects related to purchase order changes, and if the user does not have the required permissions, the error is triggered.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or function module being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for purchase order changes.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects that are being checked when the error occurs. This can be done using transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  Testing: After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to purchase orders include M_BEST_BSA (Purchase Order: Authorization for Purchase Order) and M_BEST_EKO (Purchase Order: Authorization for Purchase Order Change).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the authorization failure and implement the necessary changes to resolve the error.
