  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ST111 - You have used a non-authorized application ID. ?

    The SAP error message ST111, which states "You have used a non-authorized application ID," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a transaction or application in SAP that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen for various reasons, including incorrect user roles, missing authorizations, or misconfigured application IDs.

    3. Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the application.
    4. Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the application.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
