• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ373 - You are not authorized to read the PVS line &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ373 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a specific PVS (Planning Version Structure) line in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises in scenarios where users are trying to access planning data or perform operations that require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorizations for accessing the PVS line, and if the user does not have the necessary rights, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user profile and the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the APO functionalities.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction code PFCG:
  
  Open the relevant role.
  Check the authorization objects related to APO and ensure that the necessary authorizations for reading PVS lines are included.
  If needed, add the required authorization objects and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or if you are unsure about which authorizations are required, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the correct authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
