• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UBC_BAS520 - You are not authorized to send cost events ?

  The SAP error message UBC_BAS520, which states "You are not authorized to send cost events," typically indicates that the user attempting to perform an action related to cost events does not have the necessary authorizations in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to post costs, send cost events, or perform related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that permit them to send cost events.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or function.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up correctly, or the user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for sending cost events. This may involve checking the roles in transaction PFCG.
  If the user needs additional roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing from the roles, you may need to modify the roles in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects related to cost events.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting)
  K_CST (Cost Element Accounting)
  K_COS (Cost Object)
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for specific details on the authorization objects related to cost events.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the processes and authorizations required for their roles, especially if they are new to the system.
  Audit and Compliance: Regularly audit user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with organizational policies and to prevent unauthorized access.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to engage with your SAP support team or consult SAP's support resources for further assistance.
