  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR013 - No authorization for document value class. Document line not active. ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VR013 - No authorization for document value class. Document line not active.


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user tries to post or process a document line in Financial Accounting (FI) or Asset Accounting (AA) that requires authorization for a specific document value class, but the user does not have the necessary authorization. Additionally, the error message indicates that the document line is "not active," which usually means the document line is either locked, incomplete, or the value class is not properly maintained or assigned.

    In SAP, document value classes are used to control the posting of accounting documents, especially in Asset Accounting, where different value classes correspond to different types of asset transactions (e.g., acquisition, retirement, transfer).


    Detailed Explanation:

    • Authorization Check: SAP checks if the user has the authorization object F_BKPF_BLA (Accounting Document: Authorization for Document Type) or F_BKPF_BUK (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Code) or a similar authorization object related to document value classes.
    • Document Value Class: The document value class is linked to the asset transaction type or document type. If the user is not authorized for the specific value class, the system blocks the posting.
    • Document Line Not Active: This can mean the document line is not valid for posting due to missing or incorrect configuration or the document is in a status that does not allow posting.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Verify that the user has the correct authorizations for the document value class.
      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
      • Ensure the user has the necessary authorization objects assigned in their role/profile, especially:
        • F_BKPF_BLA (Document Type)
        • F_BKPF_BUK (Company Code)
        • F_BKPF_VAL (Value Class)
      • If missing, update the user roles to include the required authorizations.
    2. Check Document Value Class Configuration:

      • Use transaction OAYR (Asset Accounting: Define Document Value Classes) to verify that the document value class is correctly defined and active.
      • Ensure the document value class is assigned to the correct transaction type or document type.
    3. Check Document Line Status:

      • Verify that the document line is complete and active.
      • Check if the document is locked or in a status that prevents posting.
      • If the document is incomplete, correct the missing data.
    4. Check Asset Transaction Type:

      • Confirm that the asset transaction type used in the document is correctly configured and linked to the document value class.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, test the posting again with the user to confirm the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SU53 – Display Authorization Check (to analyze authorization failures)
      • OAYR – Asset Accounting: Define Document Value Classes
      • AS01/AS02 – Asset Master Data (to check asset transaction types)
      • FB01 – Post Document (where the error might occur)
    • Authorization Objects:

      • F_BKPF_BLA – Document Type Authorization
      • F_BKPF_BUK – Company Code Authorization

      • Refer to SAP Help Portal for Asset Accounting configuration and authorization setup.
