  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UDM_PR_PROCESSING120 - You are not authorized to create worklists ?

    The SAP error message UDM_PR_PROCESSING120 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create worklists in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or SAP's Universal Data Management (UDM) modules, where worklists are used to manage tasks and processes.

    Cause:

    The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:

    1. Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that allows them to create worklists.
    2. Role Configuration: The user's assigned role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
    3. Profile Issues: The user's profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.

    Solution:

    To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
    2. Review Role Assignments:

      • Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for creating worklists.
    3. Modify Roles:

      • If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user's role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. This typically involves:
        • Accessing transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
        • Adding the required authorization objects (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, etc.) to the role.
        • Assigning the modified role to the user.
    4. 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.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to worklist creation may include S_TCODE (Transaction Code) and specific objects related to the UDM or CRM modules.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. You can search for the error message in the SAP Support Portal.
