• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS710 - No authorization to print trading contract type &1 (&2) ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS710 No authorization to print trading contract type &1 (&2)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to print a trading contract of a certain type but does not have the required authorization to do so. The system checks the user's authorizations against the printing of specific trading contract types, and if the user lacks the necessary permissions, this message is triggered.
  
  &1 = Trading contract type (e.g., a specific contract category)
  &2 = Additional information, often the object or authorization object related to the contract type
  
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing or insufficient authorization objects/values in the user's role/profile related to printing trading contracts.
  The authorization check is typically done against specific authorization objects controlling access to contract types and printing functions.
  The user’s role does not include the required authorization for the particular trading contract type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the authorization object(s) involved:
  
  Check the authorization object(s) related to trading contract printing. Common authorization objects might be:
  
  V_TVKO (Sales Document Types)
  V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Document Types)
  Or specific custom authorization objects related to trading contracts.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check the user’s roles and authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s assigned roles.
  Use transaction PFCG to review the roles and their authorization data.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the missing authorization check.
  
  
  
  Adjust the roles:
  
  Add the missing authorization for the trading contract type(s) to the user’s role.
  Ensure the user has authorization to print the specific contract type.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user try printing the trading contract again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in industries using SAP IS-OIL, IS-Utilities, or other industry solutions where trading contracts are managed.
  The authorization check is a security measure to ensure only authorized personnel can print sensitive contract documents.
  If you are unsure about which authorization object is missing, use SU53 right after the error to get detailed info on the failed authorization check.
  Sometimes, the error can also be caused by missing authorization for the output device or print program, so verify those if the contract type authorization is correct.
