• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF195 - Document &1 saved (faulty authorization). ?

  The SAP error message VF195, which states "Document &1 saved (faulty authorization)," typically indicates that a user has attempted to save a document (such as an invoice or billing document) but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to save the document.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or document type being processed.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have specific authorization checks that the user does not meet.
  Custom Authorization Checks: Custom developments or enhancements may impose additional authorization checks that are not covered by standard roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt to save the document again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for specific authorization objects related to the transaction or document type in question.
  
  
  
  Custom Development Review:
  
  If there are custom authorization checks in place, review the custom code to ensure it is functioning as intended and that it aligns with the business requirements.
