• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG071 - Insufficient authorization for fund selection ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG071 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to perform a fund selection operation in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) or Fund Management (FM) modules, where users need specific authorizations to access or manipulate funds.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the fund selection functionality.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required authorization objects related to fund management.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have access to the specific organizational units or funds they are trying to select.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorization objects for fund selection. This may involve checking the roles in transaction PFCG.
  If the user needs additional roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still faces issues, you may need to modify the authorization objects within the roles to include the necessary permissions for fund selection.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the fund selection process again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to fund management include F_MF_BUDGET, F_MF_FUND, and F_MF_FUND_TYPE. Ensure these are included in the user’s roles.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FMAVCR01 (for budget availability control) and FMBB (for budget transfers) to understand the context of fund management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and fund management processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue related to the error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG071.
