• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V_O2C201 - No authorization for print preview of sales documents in &1 &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message V_O2C201 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access the print preview of sales documents in the specified context (e.g., sales order, delivery, invoice). This error typically arises when a user attempts to view or print a sales document but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorization objects related to sales document printing or viewing. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the required authorization objects for printing sales documents.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to allow access to the print preview functionality.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have specific restrictions that prevent users from accessing them.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for sales document printing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for sales document printing typically include:
  
  V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Area)
  V_VBAK_AAT (Sales Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  V_VBAK_VST (Sales Document: Authorization for Status)
  
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the print preview functionality again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
