• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV164 - No authorization for condition type &1 ?

  The SAP error message WV164 "No authorization for condition type &1" typically occurs when a user attempts to access or process a condition type in pricing that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM), where condition types are used to determine pricing, discounts, surcharges, etc.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object for the specific condition type indicated by &1.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to access or modify the condition type.
  Condition Type Settings: The condition type may be restricted in the system settings, preventing certain users from accessing it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to pricing (e.g., V_KONN_KON, V_KONN_VKO, etc.) to ensure the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to update the user's roles or profiles to include the necessary authorizations for the condition type.
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user are correctly configured to allow access to the relevant condition types.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the condition type in transaction V/06 (for pricing conditions) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions that would prevent access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session, and then test again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
