• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT812 - You are not authorized to make the conversion ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT812 - You are not authorized to make the conversion
  
  Cause:
  The error message WT812 occurs when a user attempts to perform a conversion (such as tax code conversion, withholding tax conversion, or any related financial document conversion) but lacks the necessary authorization to execute this action in the SAP system.
  This typically happens because the user’s assigned roles or profiles do not include the required authorization objects or activity permissions needed to carry out the conversion process.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to convert withholding tax documents without proper authorization.
  Trying to perform tax code or withholding tax base amount conversions.
  Executing financial document conversions related to withholding tax or tax reporting.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the authorization object(s) related to the conversion process.
  Common authorization objects related to withholding tax and conversions include:
  
  F_TAXW (Withholding Tax)
  F_BKPF_BUP (Accounting Document: Authorization for Business Partner)
  F_BKPF_BUK (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Code)
  F_BKPF_GSB (Accounting Document: Authorization for Business Area)
  
  
  Check if the user has the necessary activity (e.g., activity 03 = Display, 02 = Change, 01 = Create) for these objects.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to review and modify the user roles.
  Add or adjust the authorization objects and activities to include the required permissions for conversion.
  After changes, regenerate and assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Verify Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks during the conversion attempt.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation or Basis Team:
  
  If unsure about the exact authorization object or activity, consult SAP standard documentation or your SAP security/Basis team.
