- Parameter for release group missing from your user master record (FGB) ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message: SAP Error Message: W5020 Parameter for release group missing from your user master record (FGB)
Cause: This warning message occurs because the user master record (in transaction SU01) does not have a Release Group parameter maintained. The Release Group is a user-specific parameter that controls which release group(s) the user is authorized to work with in certain SAP applications, especially in workflow or document release processes. The system expects this parameter to be set to determine the user's authorization scope for release groups. If it is missing, the system cannot determine which release group the user belongs to, hence the warning. Explanation: Release Group is often used in scenarios involving document release strategies, workflow approvals, or other authorization checks. The parameter is usually stored in the user master record under Parameters tab in SU01. The parameter ID is typically FGB (which stands for "Release Group").
Solution: Maintain the Release Group parameter
