  Error Message
  WRETAIL_PROXY004 No authority
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Retail scenarios when a user or a process tries to execute a function, access a service, or call a proxy interface without having the necessary authorizations. Specifically, it often relates to missing authorization objects or roles required to perform certain operations in the Retail system, such as accessing retail-specific proxies or web services.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incomplete user roles/authorizations.
  Missing authorization for the specific proxy or web service.
  Authorization objects related to Retail (e.g., W_RTAIL_*) not assigned.
  The user or service user does not have the required permissions to execute the proxy call.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WRETAIL_PROXY004 No authority error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the User or Service User:
  
  Determine which user ID is triggering the error (could be an end user or a technical/service user).
  
  
  
  Check Missing Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization checks failed.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace using ST01 or SM20 to identify missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles/Authorizations:
  
  Based on the missing authorization objects, assign the necessary roles to the user.
  For SAP Retail, ensure roles containing retail-specific authorization objects like W_RTAIL_* are assigned.
  Common authorization objects related to retail proxies include:
  
  S_SERVICE (for web service execution)
  S_RFC (for remote function calls)
  S_ICF (for Internet Communication Framework services)
  Retail-specific objects like W_RTAIL_PROXY or similar.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Proxy and Service Configuration:
  
  Verify that the proxy or web service is correctly configured and that the user has access to it.
  Use transaction SPROXY to check proxy settings.
  Use SICF to check service activation and authorization.
  
  
  
  Test After Role Assignment:
  
  After assigning the roles, have the user retry the operation.
  Confirm that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes if Needed:
  
  If the problem persists, check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific proxy or Retail component.
