• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/AC102 - You are not authorized to perform this action for the business document ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/AC102 indicates that a user is not authorized to perform a specific action related to a business document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises due to insufficient authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user attempting to perform the action.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the business document in question.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required authorizations for the specific transaction or action.
  Business Document Status: The document may be in a status that restricts certain actions, and the user may not have the necessary permissions to change that status.
  Custom Authorization Objects: If the organization has implemented custom authorization checks, the user may not meet the criteria defined in those checks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization objects were checked and failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security team member should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations. This may involve adding existing roles or creating new ones that encompass the necessary permissions.
  Consult with Security Team: If you are not authorized to change roles or permissions, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the business document is in a status that allows the action you are trying to perform. If the document is locked or in a restricted status, you may need to take additional steps to unlock or change its status.
