• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSSC_BUFFER038 - No authorization to create NCD's for payment family &1 ?

  The SAP error message PSSC_BUFFER038 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create Non-Current Debt (NCD) entries for a specific payment family. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions or debt management within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorizations for creating NCDs, and if the user does not have the necessary rights, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into what permissions are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for creating NCDs. This may involve checking the authorization objects related to the payment family in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions. This typically requires access to the PFCG transaction (Profile Generator) to adjust roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to create the NCD again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that govern NCD creation. This may include objects related to financial transactions, debt management, and specific payment families.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with your organization's security policies.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to user management and authorization include:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (for reporting on authorizations)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the PSSC_BUFFER038 error.
