• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5055 - There are no procurement objects created by you ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5055 - There are no procurement objects created by you
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically appears when a user tries to perform an action (such as creating or processing a purchase requisition, purchase order, or other procurement-related document) but the system does not find any procurement objects (like purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or contracts) that were created or assigned to that user.
  In other words, the system is checking for procurement documents linked to the user ID, and none are found. This can happen due to:
  
  The user has not created any procurement documents yet.
  The user is trying to access or process procurement objects that belong to other users but does not have the necessary authorization.
  The selection criteria or filters used in the transaction exclude all procurement objects.
  The user is in a role or authorization group that restricts visibility to procurement objects created by themselves only, and none exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Procurement Documents:
  
  Check if the user has actually created any procurement objects (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, contracts).
  Use transaction codes like ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition), ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to verify.
  
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection parameters or filters used in the transaction.
  Remove or adjust filters that limit the display to procurement objects created by the user if broader access is needed.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the correct authorizations to view or process procurement objects created by others if required.
  Check authorization objects like M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document Type), M_BEST_EKG (Purchasing Group), and M_BEST_WRK (Plant) to confirm access rights.
  
  
  
  Create Procurement Objects:
  
  If the user has not created any procurement documents yet, instruct them to create a purchase requisition or purchase order as per their role.
  
  
  
  Role and User Settings:
  
  Review the user’s role and profile settings in SAP to ensure they are assigned the correct roles that allow access to procurement documents.
  Sometimes, the system is configured to show only procurement objects created by the logged-in user; this can be changed by adjusting roles or customizing the transaction.

  Notes:
  
  This message is a warning (W prefix), so it may not stop the process but indicates that no procurement objects are found for the user.
  If the user expects to see procurement objects created by others, check if the system or transaction is restricted to show only user-created documents.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  The W5055 warning means the system found no procurement documents created by the user. To resolve, verify if the user has created any procurement objects, check selection criteria and authorizations, and adjust roles or filters accordingly.
