Help needed on odd authorization problem in BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

[Former Member]

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA is returning this message:

"No authorization for material type Semifinished product"

Anyone know where on God's green earth this kind of authorization is set ????

All we're trying to do is update AUSSS in MARC, and it's been working fine thru two months of testing in DEV and QA.

Thanks in advance.

First, try to do this manually using MM02 and see if you get the same message. If so, immediatly put /NSU53 into the tcode/fcode box and the top of the gui and hit enter. This will give you the authorization object that is being hit and failing. Give this info to your authorizations guy and all should be well.

Rich -

Been there done that.

No - it's not that kind of authorization - /nsu53 gives me no failure ...

After browsing some of the code, I think the authorization object that you want is M_MATE_MAR.

Hi David,

Please check the error mesage ... what are the message class and number?

Mostly, somewhere in the program is checking the following FM.

READ_MATERIALTYPE

...

    CALL FUNCTION 'BEGRU_MAR_AUTHORITY_CHECK'
         EXPORTING
              aktyp        = aktyp
              begru        = it134-begru
         EXCEPTIONS
              no_authority = 1.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM t134t       "wk/99a
             WHERE mtart = it134-mtart "wk/99a
             AND spras = sy-langu.     "wk/99a
                   
      MESSAGE e851 WITH  t134t-mtbez RAISING no_authority.  "<--- check here for the error 
    ENDIF.

You can also go to ST01 and turn on trace for authorizations. You can then analyze the trace for authorization objects.

Sorry Rich - you were right - when I did it a second time OUTSIDE the update debugging session, sure enough:

M_MATE_MAR

activity 01

authorization group HALB

Thanks for forcing me to double-check myself.

Thanks to everybody else for good tips that may prove useful in the future.

I believe that this may be your issue here. This coding maybe where the message is coming from. Put a break point in this code and walk thru to try to find out how to remedy. This code is within the function module READ_MATERIALTYPE which is called by your BAPI.

  IF NOT it134-begru IS INITIAL.                              
    CALL FUNCTION 'BEGRU_MAR_AUTHORITY_CHECK'                 
         EXPORTING                                            
              aktyp        = aktyp                            
              begru        = it134-begru                      
         EXCEPTIONS                                           
              no_authority = 1.                               
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.                                         
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM t134t       "wk/99a                
             WHERE mtart = it134-mtart "wk/99a                
             AND spras = sy-langu.     "wk/99a                                                                                
MESSAGE e851 WITH  t134t-mtbez RAISING no_authority.    
    ENDIF.                                                    
  ENDIF.
