• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB019 - No authorization S_TABU_CLI (cross-client table maintenance) ?

  The SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB019 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions related to cross-client table maintenance. Specifically, the error is related to the authorization object S_TABU_CLI, which controls access to client-specific tables in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a cross-client table (a table that is shared across all clients in an SAP system) without having the appropriate authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Trying to execute a transaction that requires access to cross-client tables.
  Attempting to view or edit data in a cross-client table without the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for S_TABU_CLI.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles. You can add the authorization object S_TABU_CLI to the role.
  
  
  
  Assign the Authorization Object:
  
  When adding S_TABU_CLI, ensure that the following fields are set correctly:
  
  Activity: Typically, you would need at least the activity 03 (Display) or 02 (Change) depending on the required access.
  Table Name: Specify the relevant tables if needed, or leave it blank for all tables.
  Client: Ensure that the client field is set appropriately.
  
  
  
  
  
  Generate Authorizations:
  
  After modifying the role, make sure to generate the authorizations by clicking on the "Generate" button in the role maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Log in as the user again and try to perform the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
