• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABO_API_MESSAGE022 - No authorization to create this object category ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABO_API_MESSAGE022 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create an object of a specific category in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where authorization checks are strictly enforced to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  Role Assignment: The user might not have the appropriate role assigned that includes the necessary authorizations for creating the object category.
  Object Category Restrictions: The specific object category may have additional restrictions or requirements that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check if the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the object category in question. This can be done using transaction PFCG.
  If the role is missing, you may need to assign the appropriate role to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Role or Create New Role:
  
  If the existing roles do not provide the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify an existing role or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the role is properly transported to the production environment if changes are made in a development environment.
  
  
  
  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. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action again to see if the error persists.
