  The SAP error message PPH_MRP122 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions related to a specific MRP (Material Requirements Planning) controller in a given plant. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute MRP-related transactions or reports but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the specified MRP controller in the specified plant. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include permissions for the MRP controller.
  Incorrect User Profile: The user profile may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general MRP access but lacks specific access to the plant in question.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the MRP controller for the specified plant.
  Ensure that the roles are configured to allow access to the MRP controller and the relevant transactions.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects, such as C_MRP_CTRL (MRP Controller) and C_MRP_PLNT (Plant), to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the MRP controller and plant in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
