  Error Message
  WJ001 - No access to material grouping in material master
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user tries to access or maintain a material grouping in the material master, but does not have the necessary authorization or access rights to the specific material grouping.
  Material groupings are often used to classify materials for reporting, pricing, or other business processes. Access to these groupings can be restricted based on organizational rules or security settings.
  Common causes include:
  
  The user’s role/profile does not include authorization for the material grouping.
  The material grouping is restricted to certain plants, sales organizations, or company codes, and the user is trying to access it outside their authorized scope.
  Missing or incorrect entries in authorization objects related to material master data (e.g., M_MATE_MAT or M_MATE_WRK).
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations for the material grouping.
  Specifically, check authorization objects related to material master data, such as:
  
  M_MATE_MAT (Material Master: Material)
  M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant)
  M_MATE_GRP (Material Master: Material Group)
  
  
  Confirm that the material grouping the user is trying to access is included in the authorization values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Roles:
  
  If missing, add the required material grouping values to the user’s role.
  If the material grouping is plant-specific, ensure the user has authorization for the relevant plant(s).
  
  
  
  Check Material Grouping Configuration:
  
  Verify if the material grouping is correctly maintained in customizing (transaction SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Material Master ? Settings for Key Fields ? Define Material Groups).
  Confirm that the grouping is active and assigned properly.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the user’s access by trying to maintain or display the material master with the relevant grouping.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have authorization administration rights, coordinate with your SAP security team to update the roles.
