• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR502 - You are not authorized to revaluate at retail for this plant ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR502 - You are not authorized to revaluate at retail for this plant
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user attempts to perform a retail revaluation (price adjustment or inventory revaluation at retail prices) for a specific plant but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. In SAP Retail, revaluation at retail is a controlled activity, and authorization checks are in place to ensure only permitted users can execute it for certain plants.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks user authorizations against specific authorization objects related to retail price revaluation.
  If the user lacks the required authorization for the plant in question, the system throws the WR502 error.
  This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized changes to retail prices or inventory values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user who encountered the error.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object is typically M_REVAL (Revaluation at Retail).
  Check if the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., activity 02 = Change, 03 = Display) for the plant in question.
  The plant should be included in the authorization field for the object.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
  
  If missing, update the user's role to include the necessary authorization for the plant.
  This might involve adding or modifying the role in PFCG to include the plant in the authorization field for M_REVAL.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If roles are changed in a development or test system, ensure the changes are transported to production.
  
  
  
  Verify and Test:
  
  After updating authorizations, have the user retry the revaluation process.
  Confirm that the error no longer appears.

  Summary:
  
  Cause: User lacks authorization for retail revaluation for the specified plant.  
  Solution: Assign the correct authorization (M_REVAL) for the plant to the user’s role.  
  Check: User roles in SU01/PFCG, update roles, and test.
