• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCEM/INVENTUR020 - No administrator is allowed for inventory ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCEM/INVENTUR020 No administrator is allowed for inventory typically occurs in the context of inventory management within the SAP system, particularly when using the SAP Customer Experience Management (CEM) or related modules. This error indicates that the user attempting to perform an action related to inventory does not have the necessary administrative permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient User Permissions: The user does not have the required authorization to perform inventory-related tasks. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  User Role Configuration: The user might not be assigned to the correct user roles that allow for inventory management or administrative tasks.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the system that restrict certain actions to only designated administrators.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user profile.
  Verify the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for inventory management.
  If the user lacks the required roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include inventory management permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user roles using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the required authorizations to the user’s role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Review System Configuration:
  
  Check if there are any specific configurations in the system that restrict access to inventory management functions. This may involve reviewing settings in the relevant configuration transactions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to user roles or permissions, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
