• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PO322 - No authorization for re-routing to a different printer type ?

  The SAP error message PO322 ("No authorization for re-routing to a different printer type") typically occurs when a user attempts to print a document to a printer type that they do not have authorization to use. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a user tries to print a purchase order or any other document that is configured to be printed through a specific printer type.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to print to the specified printer type.
  Printer Configuration: The printer type may not be correctly configured in the SAP system, or the user may not have access to that printer type.
  User Roles: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for printing to certain printer types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for printing are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Printer Settings:
  
  Verify the printer configuration in transaction SPAD (Spool Administration). Ensure that the printer type is correctly set up and that the user has access to it.
  Check if the printer is defined as a valid output device in the system.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions for printing to the specified printer type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test printing again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
