• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V/028 - Authorizations are carried out in background only ?

  The SAP error message V/028, which states "Authorizations are carried out in background only," typically occurs when there are issues related to user authorizations in the SAP system, particularly in the context of transaction processing. This error is often encountered in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module when a user attempts to execute a transaction that requires specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are trying to execute. This can happen if the user role is not properly configured or if the user has not been assigned the correct authorization objects.
  
  
  Background Processing: The system is set to perform certain checks or processes in the background, and the user does not have the required authorizations for those background processes.
  
  
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action being attempted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to adjust the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  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 issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to the transaction you are trying to execute. This can help in understanding what specific permissions are required.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to user and role management include:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (to analyze user authorizations)
