• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD154 - No authorization to create the master data ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD154 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create master data in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role. In SAP, access to create or modify master data is controlled through authorization objects. If the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions, they will encounter this error when attempting to create master data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects related to master data creation. Common authorization objects for master data might include:
  
  S_DATASET (for file access)
  S_TCODE (for transaction codes)
  S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations)
  
  
  You may need to consult with your SAP security team to determine which authorization objects are relevant for the specific type of master data the user is trying to create.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions. This typically involves:
  
  Adding the necessary authorization objects to the user’s role.
  Ensuring that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the master data creation process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
