• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV165 - No authorization to update conditions of condition type &1 ?

  The SAP error message WV165 "No authorization to update conditions of condition type &1" typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or update pricing conditions in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations for the specific condition type indicated by "&1". This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM), where condition types are used for pricing, discounts, surcharges, etc.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to modify the specified condition type. This is often due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type may be configured in such a way that it restricts updates based on certain criteria or user roles.
  Transaction Context: The error may also arise if the user is trying to perform an action that is not allowed in the current transaction context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the condition type in question.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should update the user's roles to include the required authorizations for the condition type.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team to request the necessary access. Provide them with the details of the error message and the condition type involved.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Type Settings:
  
  If you have access, check the configuration of the condition type in transaction V/06 (for SD) or M/06 (for MM) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions that would prevent updates.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects for condition types in SAP are typically related to pricing and may include objects like V_KONN_KON (for condition records) or V_VBAK_VKO (for sales document types).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  VK11: Create condition
  VK12: Change condition
  VK13: Display condition
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal documentation for specific guidelines on managing authorizations and condition types.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the WV165 error and gain the necessary access to update the conditions as required.
