• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/AC004 - Exception occured during authority check for node &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/AC004 Exception occurred during authority check for node &1 typically indicates that there is an issue with user authorizations related to the Transport Management System (TMS) in SAP. This error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations, but the system detects that the user does not have the necessary permissions for the specified node.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access or perform actions on the specified node in the TMS.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the TMS activities.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The authorization objects related to TMS may not be properly assigned or configured in the user’s profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles to ensure they include the necessary authorizations for TMS activities.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction code PFCG to modify the roles.
  Adding the necessary authorization objects related to TMS, such as /SCMTMS/* or specific objects that are relevant to the actions being performed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the necessary authorizations and make the required adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action that previously caused the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for TMS, such as /SCMTMS/ objects, to understand what permissions are required for different actions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS and authorization checks for more detailed information on required roles and authorizations.
