  The SAP error message SRM_GENERIC_SP_ARC001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific archiving run in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or execute an archiving process without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary rights to perform certain actions, including archiving processes. If the user’s role does not include the required authorization objects for archiving, the system will generate this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the SRM_GENERIC_SP_ARC001 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for archiving.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to archiving include:
  
  S_ARCHIVE - for archiving authorization.
  S_TCODE - for transaction code authorization.
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activities for archiving runs.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to execute the archiving run again.
