• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES077 - PFCG role &1 not found ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES077 PFCG role &1 not found typically indicates that a required PFCG (Profile Generator) role is missing in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) or other modules that rely on specific authorization roles for user access.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Role: The specified PFCG role (denoted by &1 in the error message) does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles to access the specific transaction or functionality.
  Transport Issues: If the role was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included or activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Existence:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG and check if the role exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Create or Transport Role:
  
  If the role is missing, you can create it using transaction PFCG. Ensure that you include the necessary authorizations for the role.
  If the role exists in another system (like Development), you can transport it to the current system using the transport management system.
  
  
  
  Assign Role to User:
  
  If the role exists but is not assigned to the user, you can assign it through transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Enter the user ID, go to the "Roles" tab, and add the required role.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Profiles:
  
  Ensure that the role has the necessary authorization profiles assigned to it. You can do this in the PFCG role maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Role Activation:
  
  If the role was recently created or modified, ensure that it has been activated. In PFCG, after making changes, you need to generate the profile and activate it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific version of SAP TM you are using, as there may be specific roles required for certain functionalities.
