• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT003 - Professional user: User has Create authorization for type &1, object &2 ?

  The SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT003 typically indicates that a professional user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action related to a measurement type or object. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP S/4HANA, particularly in the Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) module.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when a user attempts to create or modify a measurement type or object for which they lack the required authorization. The message specifies that the user has the "Create" authorization for a certain type (&1) and object (&2), but there may be other authorizations that are missing or not properly configured.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Assignments:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to adjust their roles. This could involve adding a role that includes the necessary authorizations for the measurement type or object in question.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects and activities (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, etc.) that pertain to the actions the user is trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that pertain to the actions the user is trying to perform. Common objects include S_S4PPM for PPM-related activities.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management and best practices.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  ST01: System Trace (for deeper analysis of authorization checks)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT003.
