  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS714 - No authorization to create trading contract type &1 (&2) &3 &4 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WS714 No authorization to create trading contract type &1 (&2) &3 &4


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when a user tries to create a trading contract type in SAP but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. The system checks the user's authorizations against the required authorization objects for creating or maintaining trading contract types, and if the user lacks the required permissions, this error is raised.

    • &1 = Trading contract type (e.g., a specific contract type like "Z001")
    • &2 = Additional info about the contract type or object
    • &3 &4 = Additional parameters or context (could be client, user, or other details)

    Cause:

    • Missing or insufficient authorization in the user's role/profile.
    • The user is trying to create or modify a trading contract type without the required authorization object values.
    • Authorization object related to trading contract types (e.g., V_TVCT or similar) is not assigned or incorrectly maintained in the user's role.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
      • This will show the missing authorization object and field values.
    2. Identify Required Authorization Object:

      • Typically, the authorization object related to trading contract types is V_TVCT or similar.
      • This object controls access to create, change, or display trading contract types.
    3. Update User Role:

      • Go to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
      • Find the role assigned to the user.
      • Add or adjust the authorization for the relevant authorization object (V_TVCT or others).
      • Ensure the user has the necessary activity (e.g., Create = 01, Change = 02) for the specific trading contract type.
    4. Assign Role to User:

      • After updating the role, assign it to the user.
      • Have the user log off and log back in to refresh authorizations.
    5. Test:

      • Try to create the trading contract type again to verify the issue is resolved.

    Additional Information:

    • Trading contract types are used in SAP to define the terms and conditions of business transactions.
    • Authorization objects related to trading contracts are part of the Sales and Distribution (SD) or Logistics modules.
    • Always follow your organization's security policies when granting authorizations.
    • If unsure about the exact authorization object, consult SAP documentation or your security team.
