  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND053 - Authorization for application &1 and service implementation &2 missing ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WES_OUTBOUND053: Authorization for application &1 and service implementation &2 missing


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user or system process tries to access or execute a web service or an outbound service in SAP, but the required authorization for the specified application and service implementation is missing. Essentially, the user or service does not have the necessary permissions assigned in the SAP system to perform the requested operation.

    • &1 = Application name (e.g., a specific SAP module or service)
    • &2 = Service implementation name (e.g., a particular web service or function module)

    The authorization check fails because the user’s role or profile does not include the required authorization objects or values for the outbound service.


    Solution:

    1. Identify the missing authorization:

      • Check the exact application (&1) and service implementation (&2) mentioned in the error.
      • Determine which authorization objects are required for this application and service. This can often be found in the SAP documentation or by checking the authorization checks in the relevant function modules or services.
    2. Assign the required authorizations:

      • Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to update the user roles.
      • Add the necessary authorization objects and values related to the application and service implementation.
      • Typical authorization objects involved might be related to web services, RFC calls, or specific business functions.
    3. Test the authorization:

      • After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
      • Retry the operation to confirm that the authorization error no longer occurs.
    4. If unsure about the required authorizations:

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the last failed authorization check.
      • Analyze the missing authorization object and values.
      • Consult with your SAP security team or BASIS team for assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SU53: Displays the last authorization check failure for the current user.
    • Transaction PFCG: Role maintenance to assign or modify user roles and authorizations.
    • Web Service Security: Ensure that the user or service user has the correct authorizations for web service calls.
    • SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP provides notes related to specific authorization issues for certain applications or services.
    • Authorization Objects: Common objects related to web services include S_SERVICE, S_RFC, S_ICF, etc.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WES_OUTBOUND053 Authorization missing
    Cause Missing authorization for application &1 and service &2
    Solution Assign required authorizations via PFCG; check SU53 for details
