• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRM_BR057 - No authorization for current action ?

  The SAP error message SRM_BR057 ("No authorization for current action") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action within the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to create, change, or display documents or transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Role Configuration: The roles may not be properly configured in the SAP system, leading to insufficient permissions.
  Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects required for the action are not included in the user's profile.
  User Status: The user may be in a status that restricts certain actions (e.g., inactive or locked).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorizations: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically requires access to transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, test the action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to the action you are trying to perform. Common objects in SRM include S_BCE_ORD (for order management) and S_BCE_AUTH (for general authorizations).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management in SRM.
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SU53 - Authorization Check
  SUIM - User Information System (to analyze user authorizations)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the SRM_BR057 error.
