Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PORD_MESSAGES103 - No authorization to read process order. ?

  The SAP error message PORD_MESSAGES103 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a process order. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) module, where users need specific permissions to access process order data.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object for reading process orders. In SAP, authorizations are controlled by authorization objects, and if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions, this error will occur.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for process order access.
  User Profile Issues: There may be issues with the user profile or the way roles are assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization object for process orders is typically C_PRODORD (for process orders). Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for this object.
  Check the fields within the authorization object to ensure that the user has access to the relevant process orders.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary role, you may need to assign a role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done by a security administrator using transaction code PFCG.
  If a suitable role does not exist, you may need to create a new role or modify an existing one to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. Provide them with the details of the error and any findings from the SU53 transaction.
  
  
  
  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 to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how SAP authorization works is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of roles, profiles, and authorization objects.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and how to manage user roles.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue related to the PORD_MESSAGES103 error.
