• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_FOX066 - FOX: No authorization to explode ?

  The SAP error message PLM_FOX066 FOX: No authorization to explode typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations related to the explosion of a bill of materials (BOM) or similar structures.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access or manipulate the BOM or related data. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that allow them to perform the explosion of the BOM.
  Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects related to PLM and BOM management are not properly configured for the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, or the user may not belong to the appropriate user groups that have the required permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include permissions for BOM explosion and related PLM activities.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects, such as C_BOM_A (for BOM authorization) and others related to PLM, to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
