• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB084 - Authorization check -> No authorization to create the planning book <&1> ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB084 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create a planning book in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role that is trying to create the planning book. In SAP, authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, and if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for creating planning books, this error will occur.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these 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 object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has a role that includes the necessary authorizations for creating planning books.
  
  
  
  Modify Role:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_APO_PLB, S_APO_PB, etc.) that control access to planning book creation.
  Add the necessary authorizations to the role.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign Role to User:
  
  If the user does not have the appropriate role, assign a role that includes the necessary authorizations for creating planning books.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the roles and authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the planning book again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to assist with the authorization adjustments.
