• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD033 - No authorization for technical documentation (raw version) ?

  The SAP error message SD033, which states "No authorization for technical documentation (raw version)," typically occurs when a user attempts to access technical documentation or raw data in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This can happen in various modules, including Sales and Distribution (SD).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. The user may not have the required permissions to view or access the technical documentation associated with a particular transaction or object in SAP.
  Solution:
  To resolve the SD033 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for accessing technical documentation may include:
  
  S_SPO_DEV (for accessing technical documentation)
  S_TCODE (for transaction codes)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations assigned to these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue has been resolved.
