• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT_GENERATE002 - You are not authorized to create allocation table type &1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_AT_GENERATE002 You are not authorized to create allocation table type &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user attempting to create or generate an allocation table of a specific type does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, certain actions like creating allocation tables require specific authorizations, and if these are missing or insufficient, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Allocation Table Type: This refers to a specific kind of allocation table used in SAP Workflow or other modules where allocation tables define rules or mappings.
  Authorization Check: SAP checks if the user has the required authorization object(s) with the correct values to perform the creation or generation of the allocation table.
  The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual allocation table type the user tried to create.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the authorization object(s) relevant for creating allocation tables.
  Common authorization objects related to workflow or allocation tables might include:
  
  S_WF_ATYP (Workflow: Authorization for Allocation Table Types)
  S_WF_OBJ (Workflow: Object)
  
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace via transaction ST01 to trace the missing authorization.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
  
  Once the missing authorization object and field values are identified, update the user's role(s) to include the necessary authorizations.
  For example, for S_WF_ATYP, ensure the user has the right allocation table type(s) assigned.
  Roles can be maintained in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Test After Authorization Update:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Retry the operation to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Allocation tables in workflow are often maintained via SWF_ATAB or related transactions.
  Authorization roles are maintained in PFCG.
  
  
  Related Notes and Documentation:
  
  SAP Help Portal and OSS Notes may provide additional details on specific authorization objects.
  Check SAP Note(s) related to workflow authorization if the problem persists.
