• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+594 - You are not authorized to post IDocs for catalog & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W+594 You are not authorized to post IDocs for catalog &
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a user attempts to post or process IDocs related to a specific catalog (or message type) but lacks the necessary authorization. The system checks the user's authorizations against the catalog or message type of the IDoc, and if the user is not authorized, this warning is issued.
  In SAP, IDoc processing and posting are controlled by authorization objects to ensure that only authorized users can post or process certain IDocs, especially those related to sensitive or critical business processes.
  
  Typical Authorization Object Involved:
  
  S_IDOC: Authorization object for IDoc processing.
  
  Fields include:
  
  ACTVT (Activity, e.g., 01 = Create, 02 = Change, 03 = Display)
  IDOCTYP (IDoc Type)
  MESTYP (Message Type)
  RCVPRN (Receiver Partner Number)
  RCVPRT (Receiver Partner Type)
  
  
  
  
  
  The user likely does not have the required activity (e.g., create/post) authorization for the specific message type or IDoc type (catalog) mentioned in the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Authorization:
  
  Identify the catalog or message type (& in the message is a placeholder for the actual catalog name).
  Check which authorization object controls posting for this catalog/message type. Usually, it is S_IDOC.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Use transaction SU01 or PFCG to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Verify if the roles contain the necessary authorizations for the IDoc message type or catalog.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If missing, add the required authorizations to the user's role.
  For example, add the appropriate IDOCTYP or MESTYP values with the required activity (e.g., 01 for create/post).
  
  
  
  Test the Authorization:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user retry posting the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Use Authorization Trace (Optional):
  
  If unsure which authorization is missing, use SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the failed authorization check.
  Alternatively, use ST01 trace for detailed authorization checks.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  WE02 / WE05: Display IDocs.
  WE19: Test tool for IDocs.
  SU53: Display authorization check failure.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to IDoc authorization issues.
  SAP Help Portal documentation on IDoc processing and authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Posting inbound IDocs requires create/change authorization on the IDoc type.
  Posting outbound IDocs may require authorization on message types.
  Partner profiles and port configurations may also affect processing but usually do not cause authorization errors.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error W+594 indicates a missing authorization for posting IDocs of a certain catalog/message type. The solution is to grant the user the necessary authorization (usually via the S_IDOC object) for the relevant IDoc/message type and activity.
  
  If you provide the exact catalog or message type, I can help you identify the precise authorization values needed.
