• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SERVICES_CMS083 - Asset cannot be created; missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message SERVICES_CMS083 indicates that a user is attempting to create an asset but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required authorization roles assigned to their user profile to create assets.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The user may have roles assigned, but specific authorization objects related to asset creation are not included or are restricted.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the roles may not be properly assigned.
  Transaction Restrictions: The transaction code used to create the asset may have specific restrictions that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for asset creation. Common roles might include those related to Asset Accounting (FI-AA).
  If the user is missing roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, check the specific authorization objects (e.g., F_LFA1_AKT, F_LFA1_BEK) related to asset creation and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, 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 roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the asset again.

  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for asset management, such as:
  
  F_LFA1_AKT: Vendor Master Data
  F_LFA1_BEK: Vendor Master Data (Accounting)
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Asset Accounting to understand the specific requirements and authorizations needed for asset creation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the SERVICES_CMS083 error.
