• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TBA1072 - No authorization to change derivative contract specification &1 ?

  The SAP error message TBA1072, which states "No authorization to change derivative contract specification &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a derivative contract specification in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is related to authorization issues. Specifically, it indicates that the user does not have the required permissions to change the specified derivative contract. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to change derivative contracts.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the transaction or activity may not include the necessary permissions for the user.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow changes to derivative contracts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for changing derivative contracts. This may involve checking roles related to the Treasury and Risk Management module (TRM) or other relevant areas.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user is missing specific authorizations, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with their roles. Common authorization objects related to derivative contracts include:
  
  F_TB_CONTRACT (Authorization for Contract Management)
  F_TB_DERIVATIVE (Authorization for Derivative Transactions)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity authorizations (e.g., create, change, display).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to change the derivative contract specification again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to authorization management and the specific module (e.g., Treasury and Risk Management) to understand the required authorizations better.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to manage their authorizations and understand the implications of their roles within the SAP system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the TBA1072 error message.
