• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF518 - No authorization for output in sales organization &1. ?

  The SAP error message VF518 "No authorization for output in sales organization &1" typically occurs when a user attempts to process an output (such as a printout, email, or other communication) for a sales document (like a sales order or invoice) but lacks the necessary authorizations for that specific sales organization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform output processing for the specified sales organization.
  Missing Roles: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the output type in the context of the sales organization.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the output determination that restrict access based on user roles or sales organization.
  
  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.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for the output type and sales organization are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User 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 authorizations for the output processing in the relevant sales organization.
  
  
  
  Output Configuration:
  
  Check the output determination configuration in transaction NACE for the relevant application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution). Ensure that the output type is correctly configured and that the user has access to it.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or configurations, test the output processing again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
