  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ336 - You do not have authorization to make this entry ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WZ336 - You do not have authorization to make this entry


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or enter data in a transaction or screen for which they do not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, authorizations control what users can see and do. If the user’s assigned roles or profiles lack the required authorization objects or values, the system prevents the action and issues this message.


    Common Scenarios:

    • Trying to post or change documents without proper authorization.
    • Entering data in a field or transaction restricted by authorization checks.
    • Accessing or modifying master data or configuration settings without sufficient rights.
    • Attempting to perform an activity restricted by organizational level (company code, plant, sales organization, etc.).

    Solution:

    1. Identify Missing Authorization:

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction shows the last failed authorization check for the user.
      • Analyze the missing authorization object(s) and field values.
    2. Check User Roles:

      • Review the user’s assigned roles in SU01 or PFCG.
      • Verify if the roles contain the required authorization objects and values.
    3. Adjust Authorizations:

      • If you have authorization admin rights, update the roles to include the missing authorizations.
      • If not, raise a request with your SAP security team or BASIS team to update the roles.
    4. Test After Changes:

      • After role adjustment, test the transaction again to confirm the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SU53: Displays the last failed authorization check for the current user.
    • Transaction SU01: User maintenance, to check assigned roles.
    • Transaction PFCG: Role maintenance, to check and modify roles and authorizations.
    • Authorization Objects: These are specific objects in SAP that control access to transactions, fields, or data (e.g., M_BEST_BSA for purchasing document types, F_BKPF_BUK for company code authorization in FI).
    • Organizational Levels: Many authorizations are restricted by organizational units like company code, plant, sales org, etc. Ensure the user has authorization for the relevant organizational unit.

    Summary:

    • Cause: User lacks required authorization for the attempted action.
    • Solution: Use SU53 to identify missing authorizations, then update user roles accordingly.
    • Tip: Always perform authorization checks in a test environment before applying changes in production.

    If you provide the exact transaction or context where the error occurs, I can help identify the specific authorization object involved.
