• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W/195 - You have no authorization to access markdown plan & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W/195 You have no authorization to access markdown plan &
  
  Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the user attempting to access or modify a Markdown Plan in SAP does not have the necessary authorizations. Markdown Plans are typically used in Retail or Sales and Distribution modules to manage price reductions or promotional pricing strategies.
  The system checks user authorizations against specific authorization objects related to markdown planning. If the user lacks the required permissions, SAP issues this warning to prevent unauthorized access.
  
  Common Authorization Objects Involved:
  
  M_MKPLN_AU – Authorization for Markdown Plans
  M_MKPLN_VW – Authorization to view Markdown Plans
  M_MKPLN_CH – Authorization to change Markdown Plans
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the User and Transaction:
  
  Determine which user is encountering the message.
  Identify the transaction or program where the message appears (e.g., transaction code related to markdown planning).
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the last failed authorization check.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorizations:
  
  Based on the missing authorization objects, update the user's roles/profiles to include the necessary authorizations for markdown plans.
  Typically, this involves adding the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MKPLN_AU, M_MKPLN_VW, M_MKPLN_CH) with appropriate activity values (e.g., display, change).
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  Use PFCG to modify or create roles that include the required authorizations.
  Assign the updated roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After updating authorizations, have the user retry the operation to confirm the warning no longer appears.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: W/195 is a warning, not an error, so the system may allow limited access or viewing but restricts certain functions.
  Module Context: This message is common in Retail or Sales modules where markdown pricing is managed.
  Security Best Practices: Only grant the minimum necessary authorizations to users to comply with the principle of least privilege.
  Documentation: Check SAP Help Portal or SAP Notes for any module-specific details on markdown plan authorizations.
