• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA136 - No authorization for cross-system transport ?

  The SAP error message TA136 "No authorization for cross-system transport" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform a transport operation that involves multiple SAP systems (e.g., transporting objects from a development system to a quality assurance or production system) but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations in the target system to perform cross-system transports.
  Transport Profile Restrictions: The transport profile settings may restrict certain users from performing cross-system transports.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for transport activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TA136 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for cross-system transport. Common roles include:
  
  SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only, not recommended for production)
  Specific roles related to transport management, such as SAP_CTS_ADMIN or custom roles that include transport-related authorizations.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Transport Profile:
  
  Check the transport profile settings in transaction STMS (Transport Management System) to ensure that the user is allowed to perform cross-system transports.
  Ensure that the transport routes are correctly configured and that the user has the necessary permissions for the source and target systems.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can help review the transport configuration and user authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transport operation again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
