SD010 - Details

• The SAP error message SD010, which states "You have no authorization for documentation maintenance," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify documentation in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module without the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to maintain sales documents, delivery documents, or billing documents.
  
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. SAP uses a role-based access control system, and if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for documentation maintenance, the system will prevent access and display this error message.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SD010 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
