• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1273 - No authorization to change partner with authorization group &1 ?

  The SAP error message R1273, which states "No authorization to change partner with authorization group &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a partner (such as a customer or vendor) that is assigned to a specific authorization group for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to perform the requested action on the partner data. This is usually due to the following reasons:
  
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The partner is assigned to an authorization group, and the user does not have the required authorization to change data for that group.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to modify the partner data.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to partner data may not be properly assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles to include the required authorizations for the specific authorization group.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_LFA1_APR, etc.) that correspond to the partner data they are trying to change.
  
  
  
  Authorization Group Assignment:
  
  Check the authorization group assigned to the partner. If necessary, you can change the authorization group of the partner to one that the user has access to, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user attempt the action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to partner data. Common objects include:
  
  F_LFA1_APR for vendor master data
  F_KNA1_APR for customer master data
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check
  SU01: User maintenance
  PFCG: Role maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines on user roles and authorizations for further details on managing authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the R1273 error message.
