• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX352 - No authorization for displaying this plant in SlsArea & & & ?

  The SAP error message:
  WX352 No authorization for displaying this plant in SlsArea & & &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to display or access sales data related to a specific plant, but the user does not have the necessary authorization for that plant within the sales area. In SAP, sales areas are combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, and division, and authorizations are often restricted to certain plants within these sales areas.
  The message indicates that the user’s authorization profile does not include the required authorization object values for the plant in the sales area context.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Plant: A plant is an organizational unit within logistics, representing a manufacturing location, warehouse, or distribution center.
  Sales Area: Combination of Sales Organization + Distribution Channel + Division.
  Authorization Object: Typically, the authorization object involved is V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Sales Organization Data) or V_VBKA_VKO or similar, which controls access to sales data by sales area and plant.
  The user’s role/profile does not include the plant in the sales area for which the data is being displayed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Look for missing authorizations related to sales area and plant, especially authorization objects like V_VBAK_VKO or V_VBKA_VKO.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  Update the user’s role(s) in transaction PFCG to include the missing plant(s) in the sales area.
  Specifically, add the plant(s) to the authorization fields for the relevant authorization objects.
  If the plant is missing in the role, add it and regenerate the profile.
  
  
  
  Verify Sales Area and Plant Assignments:
  
  Confirm that the plant is correctly assigned to the sales area in customizing (SPRO) if applicable.
  Sometimes, the plant might not be assigned to the sales area, causing authorization checks to fail.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Test the transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
