• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEENG012 - No authorization to read &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPEENG012 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a specific object or data in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Production Planning and Execution (PP) or related modules where access to certain data is restricted based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user profile. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  The user has not been assigned the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  The roles assigned to the user do not cover the specific object or data they are trying to access.
  Changes in the authorization profiles or roles that have not been updated for the user.
  The user is trying to access data that is restricted based on organizational levels or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PPEENG012 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the objects the user is trying to access.
  If the roles do not include the required authorizations, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. This can be found in the SU53 output or by consulting with your security team.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for that object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the SU53 output for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
