• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP086 - At least one infotype was skipped (authorization) ?

  The SAP error message RP086, which states "At least one infotype was skipped (authorization)," typically occurs during the processing of HR infotypes in SAP, particularly when trying to create or modify employee data. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify one or more infotypes.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user executing the transaction does not have the required authorization for one or more infotypes. This can happen if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to view or edit specific infotypes.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The authorization objects related to HR infotypes may not be properly assigned to the user’s role.
  Infotype Configuration: Sometimes, the infotype itself may have specific settings that restrict access based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This will show you which authorization checks failed.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the relevant infotypes are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific infotypes.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the infotypes (e.g., P_ORGIN, P_PERS, etc.) are included in the user’s role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP HR that store specific types of employee-related information (e.g., personal data, payroll data, etc.).
  Authorization Objects: These are used in SAP to control access to various functionalities and data. For HR, common authorization objects include:
  
  P_ORGIN: Organizational Management
  P_PERS: Personnel Administration
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  PA30: Maintain HR Master Data (where the error may occur)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issues causing the RP086 error in SAP.
