• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#153 - Transaction &1 is not contained in the menu of role &2 ?

  The SAP error message S#153 indicates that a specific transaction (denoted as &1) is not included in the menu of the specified role (denoted as &2). This typically occurs when a user tries to access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorization or when the transaction is not assigned to their user role.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transaction in Role: The transaction code you are trying to access is not included in the assigned role's menu.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have the correct role assigned that includes the transaction.
  Authorization Issues: Even if the transaction is in the role, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute it.
  Role Changes: Recent changes to roles or transactions may not have been updated or reflected in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the role containing the transaction is assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Role:
  
  If the transaction is not included in the role, you can add it:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Enter the role name (&2) and click on "Change".
  In the menu area, add the transaction code (&1) to the role.
  Save the changes and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  After adding the transaction, ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute it.
  You can use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures after attempting to execute the transaction.
  
  
  
  Role Synchronization:
  
  If changes were made to roles or transactions, ensure that the user’s profile is synchronized. This can be done by re-generating the profile in PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
