• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOC068 - You do not have an authorization for the selected resources ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOC068 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access certain resources in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action on resources (like production resources, transportation resources, etc.) for which they lack the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to access or manipulate the specified resources.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the required authorizations for the APO transactions or resources.
  Resource-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on certain resources that limit access based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to the resources in question. Common authorization objects for APO include:
  
  S_APO_RES (for resource access)
  S_APO_PLN (for planning access)
  S_TCODE (for transaction codes)
  
  
  
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the functionality again to confirm that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) to troubleshoot authorization issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization errors in APO.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the /SAPAPO/LOC068 error message.
