• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMERP/OL_COMMON002 - No authorization for document type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SRMERP/OL_COMMON002 No authorization for document type &1 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions on a specific document type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in scenarios where users are trying to view, create, or modify documents that are restricted based on their user roles or authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization object that governs access to the specific document type.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type in question may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the document type.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the relevant authorization objects for the document type in question. This can be done using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are 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 PFCG.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  Testing: After making changes, test the access again to ensure that the user can now access the document type without encountering the error.
