• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1050 - Authorization object &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message R1050, which states "Authorization object &1 does not exist," typically occurs when a user tries to execute a transaction or access a function that requires a specific authorization object that is not defined in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The authorization object referenced in the error message does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to a missing configuration or a transport issue where the object was not transported to the target system.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization object.
  Custom Development: If the authorization object is part of a custom development, it may not have been created or activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization Object:
  
  Use transaction code SU21 to check if the authorization object exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or ensure it is properly transported from the development environment.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned. Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects.
  If roles are missing, you may need to assign the correct roles to the user using transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the authorization object is supposed to exist but does not, check if there were any transport issues. Ensure that all relevant transports have been successfully imported into the system.
  
  
  
  Custom Authorization Objects:
  
  If the authorization object is custom, ensure that it has been created correctly in the development system and transported to the target system. You may need to consult with your ABAP team or SAP Basis team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If the system was recently upgraded or modified, check if any changes might have affected the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU21: Display Authorization Objects
