• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA405 - You are not authorized for inspection completion and usage decision ?

  The SAP error message QA405, which states "You are not authorized for inspection completion and usage decision," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform actions related to quality inspection completion or making usage decisions in the Quality Management (QM) module of SAP, but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to perform inspection completion or usage decision actions.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction codes related to inspection completion (e.g., QA32, QA11) or usage decision (e.g., QA11).
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (plant, storage location, etc.) that prevent the user from completing inspections or making decisions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization logs to identify the specific authorization objects that are lacking.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for inspection completion and usage decision.
  Common authorization objects related to QM include:
  
  Q_001: Quality Management: Inspection Lot
  Q_002: Quality Management: Usage Decision
  Q_003: Quality Management: Inspection Results
  
  
  Ensure that the roles are configured to allow actions at the required organizational levels.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to refresh their authorizations.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the processes and authorizations required for performing inspection completions and usage decisions.
  Provide training if necessary to help users understand their roles and responsibilities.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  QA32: Display Inspection Lots
  QA11: Usage Decision
  QA12: Change Usage Decision
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to authorization problems in QM.
