  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLELIST107 - You are not authorized to maintain the material list & (ID &) ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WRF_ARTICLELIST107 – "You are not authorized to maintain the material list & (ID &)"


    Cause:

    This error occurs because the user attempting to maintain (create, change, or delete) a material list does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, access to certain functions, such as maintaining material lists, is controlled by authorization objects and roles. If the user’s assigned roles or authorizations do not include the required permissions for the material list identified by the given ID, the system will prevent the action and display this error.


    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Verify the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
      • Identify the authorization object(s) controlling access to material lists. Common authorization objects related to material master or material lists might include:
        • M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Authorization for Material)
        • M_MATE_WRF (Material Master: Authorization for Material List)
      • Check if the user has the required activity (e.g., create/change/delete) for the material list in question.
    2. Assign Proper Roles:

      • If the user lacks the necessary authorization, assign the appropriate role(s) that include the required permissions.
      • Roles can be adjusted or created in PFCG to include the needed authorization objects and values.
    3. Authorization Trace (Optional):

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
      • Alternatively, run an authorization trace with ST01 to analyze the missing authorizations.
    4. Check Material List Ownership or Status:

      • Sometimes, material lists may be restricted based on ownership or status. Ensure the user is allowed to maintain the specific material list ID.

    Related Information:

    • Material Lists in SAP: Material lists are used in various SAP modules (e.g., MM, SD, WM) to group materials for specific purposes like pricing, production, or inventory.
    • Authorization Objects: Understanding which authorization objects control material list maintenance is key to resolving this issue.
    • Transaction Codes: Material list maintenance might be done via specific transactions or apps depending on your SAP system version.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Service Marketplace or SAP ONE Support Launchpad for any notes related to WRF_ARTICLELIST107 for system-specific fixes or updates.

    Summary:
    The error WRF_ARTICLELIST107 indicates insufficient authorization to maintain a material list. The solution involves verifying and updating user roles and authorizations to grant the necessary permissions for the material list maintenance activities.
