• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY183 - Document & is not an authorization ?

  The SAP error message WTY183: Document & is not an authorization typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Authorization checks. Here's a detailed explanation:
  
  Cause:
  
  The error message WTY183 indicates that a particular document (or object) is not recognized as an authorization object in the system.
  This usually happens when the system expects an authorization object or a document linked to an authorization, but the provided document or object does not match the expected authorization object type.
  It can occur if:
  
  The workflow or program is trying to check or assign authorizations for a document that is not configured or defined as an authorization object.
  There is a mismatch or incorrect configuration in the authorization object or document type.
  The document number or identifier passed is incorrect or missing.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Type:
  
  Verify that the document or object you are working with is correctly defined as an authorization object in the system.
  Use transaction codes like SU21 (Maintain Authorization Objects) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to check the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow or Program Configuration:
  
  If this error occurs in a workflow, check the workflow container and the steps where authorization checks are performed.
  Ensure that the document or object passed to the authorization check is valid and correctly mapped.
  
  
  
  Check the Input Parameters:
  
  Make sure the document number or identifier passed to the authorization check is correct and not empty.
  Debug the workflow or program to see what value is being passed when the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Setup:
  
  If you are customizing or creating new authorization objects, ensure they are properly created and assigned to roles.
  Check if the authorization object is assigned to the user roles that are executing the transaction or workflow.
