• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS367 - No authorization for documents for org. units (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message WS367: No authorization for documents for org. units (see long text) typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Organizational Management (OM) when a user tries to access or process documents related to organizational units but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  
  Cause
  
  The user does not have the required authorization objects or permissions to access or process documents related to certain organizational units.
  This can happen if the user's role does not include the necessary authorizations for the organizational units involved.
  The system checks authorizations against organizational units when workflows or HR documents are processed, and if the user is not authorized for the relevant org unit, this error is raised.
  
  
  Explanation from Long Text (Typical)
  The long text of message WS367 usually explains that the user is not authorized to process documents for the organizational unit(s) involved. It may suggest checking the authorizations for the organizational units or the roles assigned to the user.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to organizational units, such as:
  
  P_ORGIN (Authorization for Organizational Units)
  P_ORGIN_B (Authorization for Organizational Units - Infotype)
  P_ORGIN_C (Authorization for Organizational Units - Actions)
  
  
  These authorizations control access to organizational units and related HR documents.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If missing, add the required authorization objects to the user's roles.
  Make sure the roles include the organizational units the user needs to access.
  Use transaction PFCG to maintain roles and generate profiles.
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Unit Assignments:
  
  Confirm that the organizational units involved in the document or workflow are correctly maintained.
  Sometimes, the organizational unit might be incorrect or missing, causing authorization checks to fail.
  
  
  
  Workflow or HR Document Settings:
  
  If the error occurs in a workflow, check the workflow container and ensure the organizational unit data is correctly passed.
  Verify that the workflow user has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjusting roles, test the transaction or workflow again to confirm the error is resolved.
