• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX320 - No authorization for creating plant & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WX320 - No authorization for creating plant &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to create a plant in SAP but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. The system checks the user's authorizations against the required authorization objects for plant creation, and if the user lacks the required permissions, the WX320 message is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, creating or modifying organizational units like plants requires specific authorizations.
  The authorization object typically involved is M_MATE_WRK (Plant Maintenance Authorization) or T024 (Purchasing Group/Plant).
  The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorization to create or maintain plants.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the missing authorizations.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks and identify which authorization object and field values are missing.
  
  
  
  Identify Required Authorization Object:
  
  For plant creation, the key authorization object is usually M_MATE_WRK or T024.
  The user needs the Activity 01 (Create) for the relevant plant or plant group.
  
  
  
  Update User Roles/Profiles:
  
  Contact your SAP Security team to update the user’s roles.
  Add the necessary authorization objects with the appropriate values (e.g., plant number or plant group).
  Ensure the user has Create (Activity 01) rights for the plant.
  
  
  
  Test After Authorization Update:
  
  After the roles are updated, the user should try creating the plant again.
  If the error persists, re-check authorizations with SU53 or ST01.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Transaction for Plant Creation:  
  
  Typically, plants are created in SPRO under Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics - General ? Define, copy, delete, check plant.
  Or via transaction OX10.
