• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SE018 - No authorization to create entry sheet & ?

  The SAP error message SE018, which states "No authorization to create entry sheet," typically occurs when a user attempts to create an entry sheet (such as a goods receipt or service entry sheet) but lacks the necessary authorizations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role or profile that is currently assigned to the user. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for creating entry sheets.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, company code) that prevent them from creating entry sheets.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SE018 error, you can take the following 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 is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for creating entry sheets.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify specific missing authorization objects (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, etc.), you can add these to the user’s role.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to test if they can now create the entry sheet without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for specific authorization requirements related to entry sheets.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to the transaction you are trying to perform. This can help in understanding what permissions are necessary.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the processes and authorizations required for their roles to minimize authorization-related issues.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
