• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ000 - You do not have authorization to do this ?

  The SAP error message "PQ000 You do not have authorization to do this" typically indicates that the user attempting to perform a specific action does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile. This can occur in various SAP modules, including but not limited to Production Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM), and others.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects for the transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct roles assigned in their user profile that include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile Issues: The authorization profiles assigned to the user may not cover the required actions.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, company code) that prevent them from executing the action.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the action being performed. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can review the user's authorizations and make necessary adjustments.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  Documentation: Ensure that any changes made to user roles or authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
