• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA406 - You are not authorized to display usage decisions for this inspection lot ?

  The SAP error message QA406, which states "You are not authorized to display usage decisions for this inspection lot," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view or manage usage decisions for a specific inspection lot in the Quality Management (QM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to access the usage decision functionality for the inspection lot.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions related to quality management or inspection lot processing.
  Inspection Lot Status: The inspection lot may be in a status that restricts access to certain users.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can check the user’s authorizations using transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should review and modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to QM include:
  
  Q_UMS_UD (Usage Decision)
  Q_UMS_LOT (Inspection Lot)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions to display and manage usage decisions.
  
  
  
  Check Inspection Lot Status:
  
  Verify the status of the inspection lot. If the lot is in a status that restricts access, you may need to change the status or ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions for that status.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific details on the authorization objects and roles related to Quality Management.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues in QM.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to manage their authorizations and understand the QM processes better.
  Audit: Regularly audit user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance and proper access levels.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the QA406 error and ensure that the user has the necessary access to display usage decisions for inspection lots.
