• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX324 - No authorization for marking plant & for deletion ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WX324 - No authorization for marking plant & for deletion:
  
  Error Message:
  WX324 - No authorization for marking plant & for deletion
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to mark a plant for deletion in SAP but does not have the required authorization to perform this action. In SAP, certain sensitive operations like marking a plant for deletion are protected by specific authorization objects to prevent unauthorized changes that could affect business processes.
  The key authorization object involved here is usually:
  
  M_MATE_WRK (Plant Authorization)
  
  The user is missing the necessary activity (such as activity 02 - Change) or the plant authorization in their user role/profile to mark the plant for deletion.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Marking a plant for deletion is a critical operation because it indicates that the plant will no longer be used in the system.
  SAP restricts this action to users who have explicit authorization.
  If the user lacks the required authorization, the system throws the WX324 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization check.
  
  
  
  Verify Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object is M_MATE_WRK.
  The user needs the appropriate activity (usually 02 - Change) for the plant they want to mark for deletion.
  
  
  
  Update User Role:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG.
  Find the role assigned to the user.
  Add or update the authorization for object M_MATE_WRK with the required plant and activity.
  Generate and assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Test the Operation:
  
  After updating the authorization, have the user try to mark the plant for deletion again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Marking Plant for Deletion:
  
  This is done in transaction OX10 or via IMG path: Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Logistics - General ? Define, copy, delete, check plant.
  Marking a plant for deletion does not immediately delete it but flags it for future deletion.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Details:
  
  M_MATE_WRK controls access to plants in material master data.
  Activities:
  
  01 = Create
  02 = Change
  03 = Display
  06 = Flag for deletion
  
  
  Ensure the user has activity 06 or 02 depending on system configuration.
  
  
  
  System Environment:
  
  This error is common in SAP ERP systems like SAP ECC and S/4HANA.
