BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA : Error-No authorization for material type...

Arun_Prabhu_K — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:14:28 GMT

Hi guys.

I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to change a material MRP parameters.

I am getting the error "No authorization for material type.."

On /nsu53, it is found to be trying for material creation activity.

I don't want to give this material creation authorisation to the end-user.

How to restrict BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to change a material and not try for creating?

CLEAR : hd_data,hd_data[],plnt_data,plnt_data[],

plnt_datax,plnt_datax[].

hd_data-material = itab1-matnr . "MATL NO AS INPUT

hd_data-mrp_view = 'X'. "MRP VIEW OF MM02

hd_data-work_sched_view = 'X'. "Work Scheduling View

append hd_data.

plnt_data-plant = 'TPFH'.

plnt_data-mrp_group = itab1-mrpgrp1. "MRP Group

plnt_data-mrp_ctrler = itab1-mrp1. "MRP Controller

Hi Arun,

Its actually difficult to restrict that way.. instead you can actually handle the case using your program logic.

You must be aware for what purpose you want to use the BAPI.. eg change the plant data. Before passing the changed data to the BAPI, check if that material is already extended for that plant or not. If material is already created for Material, then only you pass the data to change that material using BAPI.. otherwise do not call the BAPI and give error that user is not authorised to create / Extend material...

hope this helps

Hi Arun,

Activate a security trace and use the BAPI to create and change. Compare the traces for the authorization objects. If you do not find a way to restrict using auth objects then do it in the program (Check if the data exists already and throw an error).

I'm curious about why an end user would be maintaining materials. This is a material master data function, and IMHO, the program that does this update should ONLY be executable by users within the organization that have the necessary authorizations. I would NOT try to code for a way around security....that's not appropriate...the user doesn't have authority to do this, they should not be executing the program.
