• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL680 - You are not authorized to cancel the goods issue for shipping point & ?

  The SAP error message VL680 indicates that a user is not authorized to cancel the goods issue for a specific shipping point. This error typically arises when a user attempts to reverse or cancel a goods issue transaction but lacks the necessary permissions to perform that action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned to their user profile to cancel goods issues for the specified shipping point.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configurations that restrict certain users from performing cancellation actions based on their roles or the shipping point.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct user roles that include the necessary authorizations for the shipping point in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Contact your SAP security administrator to review the user's authorization profile.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for canceling goods issues (e.g., authorization objects like M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MAR, etc.).
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, the security administrator can adjust the roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions for the shipping point.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This can provide insights into what specific permissions are missing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding authorization management to ensure compliance with security policies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user test the cancellation process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects that control access to goods movement transactions, such as M_MATE_WRK (Material Management: Plant Data) and M_MATE_MAR (Material Management: General Data).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to authorization issues or specific error messages that may provide additional context or solutions.
  Training: Ensure that users are trained on the processes and permissions related to goods movements to minimize authorization-related errors in the future.
  
  By addressing the authorization issues and ensuring that users have the correct permissions, you can resolve the VL680 error and allow for the cancellation of goods issues as needed.
