• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_LM150 - Compounded characteristic &1 has authorization-relevant parent &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_LM150 indicates that there is an issue with authorization related to compounded characteristics in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error typically arises when a compounded characteristic (a characteristic that is made up of other characteristics) is being used in a query or report, and the user does not have the necessary authorizations for the parent characteristic.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query does not have the required authorizations for the parent characteristic of the compounded characteristic.
  Compounded Characteristics: The compounded characteristic is dependent on its parent characteristic, and if the parent characteristic is not authorized for the user, the system will throw this error.
  Missing Roles or Authorizations: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the parent characteristic.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the user has the necessary access to the parent characteristic.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the parent characteristic.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for the characteristics involved.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to refresh their authorization profile.
  Test the query again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to address the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Compounded Characteristics: In SAP BW, compounded characteristics are used to group multiple characteristics together. For example, a compounded characteristic for "Location" might include "Country" and "City".
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functionalities. For characteristics, the relevant authorization objects typically include S_RS_AUTH for reporting and S_BI_WB for BI workbench access.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  RSRT: Query Monitor for testing queries.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSDD_LM150 error and ensure that users have the necessary access to execute their queries successfully.
