• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/SUPPLIER060 - You are not authorized to display a contact person ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/SUPPLIER060: You are not authorized to display a contact person typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view the contact person details in the Supplier Management module of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary permissions to access contact person information.
  Role Configuration: The roles and authorizations may not be properly configured in the SAP system.

  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by navigating to the user management area in SAP (Transaction code: SU01).
  Review Authorizations: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations. This may involve:
  
  Adding the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_Supplier, etc.) to the user's role.
  Ensuring that the role has the necessary activity (like display) for the contact person.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  Documentation: Ensure that any changes made to roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
