How To Fix RSEC269 - Characteristic &1 not authorization relevant...

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSEC -

• Message number: 269

• Message text: Characteristic &1 not authorization relevant...

What causes this issue?

The characteristic that you want to include in the authorization is
active, but it is not marked as authorization relevant and thus should
not be included in the authorization.
This happens for example, when you created the authorization in another
system, transported it, and now want to use it in the target system
without having marked the associated characteristics as authorization
relevant.
Only when intervals or hierarchy authorizations have been created, for
example with transport or generation, does the characteristic still
exist in the authorization. If you have just inserted it, you cannot
save it. On the one hand, this should prevent characteristics that are
not authorization relevant from being inserted and on the other hand, it
should help eliminate transport and generation inconsistencies.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Mark the characteristic in InfoObject maintenance as authorization
relevant or remove the characteristic from the authorization.
Exceptions are <ZK>validity</>(0TCAVALID), <ZK>InfoProvider
</>(0INFOPROV) and <ZK>Activity </>(0TCAACTVT), which cannot be removed
and always have to be authorization relevant.
