• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01151 - Missing authorization: Maintain Source List for Plant &1 ?

  The SAP error message W_DSD_01151 indicates that a user is missing the necessary authorization to maintain the source list for a specific plant. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Materials Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with the source list functionality.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the user not having the required authorization object to perform the action of maintaining the source list for the specified plant. In SAP, authorizations are controlled through authorization objects, which define what actions a user can perform on specific data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide details on which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Identify Required Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for maintaining the source list is typically M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Maintain Plant Data) or M_MATE_MA (Material Master: Maintain General Data). You may need to check the specific authorization object that is causing the issue based on the SU53 output.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles to include the required authorization. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Add the necessary authorization objects to the user’s role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details from the SU53 output so they can assist in granting the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the authorizations have been updated, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Understanding how authorization objects work in SAP is crucial for managing user permissions effectively. Each object has fields that define the specific authorizations required for different actions.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the W_DSD_01151 error and allow the user to maintain the source list for the specified plant.
