• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFM_ALIGNMENT011 - You donÆt have authorization to change Purchase Order &1 ?

  The SAP error message RFM_ALIGNMENT011 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific Purchase Order (PO). This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can modify certain data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Role: The user lacks the required authorization role that allows them to change Purchase Orders. This could be due to missing permissions in their user profile.
  Object Level Security: The user may have access to some transactions but not to specific objects or fields related to Purchase Orders.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have the necessary authorizations for the specific organizational units (e.g., company code, purchasing organization) associated with the Purchase Order.
  Profile Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary authorizations.
  
  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.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects for Purchase Orders include:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchase Order: Authorization for Purchasing Document)
  M_BEST_EKO (Purchase Order: Authorization for Purchasing Group)
  M_BEST_FGR (Purchase Order: Authorization for Vendor)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct authorizations for the relevant organizational levels.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
