• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_VERSION118 - You do not have authorization for the planning version ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_VERSION118 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific planning version in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform actions related to a planning version for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the appropriate authorization object assigned to their user profile for the specific planning version.
  Planning Version Settings: The planning version may be restricted to certain user groups or roles, and the user does not belong to those groups.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for accessing the planning version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to planning versions, such as S_APO_VERSION, and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should modify the user's roles to include the necessary authorizations for the planning version.
  This may involve adding the user to a role that has access to the planning version or creating a custom role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Planning Version Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the planning version in transaction /SAPAPO/VER to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the user should have access to it.
  Ensure that the planning version is not restricted to specific user groups that exclude the user in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or planning version settings, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
