• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI269 - No authorization for requesting an additionals IDoc ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTADDI269 – No authorization for requesting an additional IDoc
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user or a process tries to request or generate an additional IDoc (Intermediate Document) but lacks the necessary authorizations. In SAP, IDoc processing and generation are controlled by specific authorization objects. If the user or the background job does not have the required permissions, the system raises this error.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios such as:  
  
  Requesting additional IDocs for change pointers or ALE distribution.  
  Manually triggering IDoc generation without proper roles/authorizations.  
  Background jobs running under a user ID that lacks the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user or the background job user that is triggering the IDoc request.
  Verify the authorizations assigned to this user.
  
  
  
  Relevant Authorization Objects:
  
  S_IDOC_ALL – General authorization for IDoc processing.
  S_IDOC_ADM – Authorization for IDoc administration.
  S_IDOC_TYPE – Authorization for specific IDoc types.
  S_WTADDI – Authorization object specifically related to requesting additional IDocs.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to assign the necessary roles or create a custom role including the above authorization objects.
  Ensure that the user has the authorization to request additional IDocs for the relevant message types and IDoc types.
  
  
  
  Check ALE and Distribution Model Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the error can be related to the distribution model or partner profiles.
  Use transactions BD64 (Distribution Model) and WE20 (Partner Profiles) to verify that the settings are correct and consistent.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the IDoc request again.
  Use transaction WE19 to simulate IDoc processing if needed.
