  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1P182 - No authorization for reversal (amount authorization insufficient) ?

    The SAP error message 1P182 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a reversal of a transaction due to insufficient amount authorization. This typically occurs in financial transactions where specific limits or authorizations are set for users.

    Cause:

    1. Insufficient Authorization: The user attempting the reversal does not have the required authorization level to reverse the transaction amount.
    2. Authorization Profiles: The user's role or profile may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction type or amount.
    3. Transaction Limits: There may be predefined limits on the amount that a user can reverse, and the transaction exceeds this limit.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Review the user's authorization profile in the SAP system.
      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
      • Consult with your SAP security team to understand the specific authorizations required for the reversal.
    2. Adjust Authorization Profiles:

      • If the user requires additional authorizations, the SAP security team can modify the user's role or profile to include the necessary permissions.
      • Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorization objects related to the transaction type and amount.
    3. Transaction Limits:

      • If there are limits set on the amount that can be reversed, these may need to be adjusted based on business requirements.

    4. Training and Documentation:

      • Ensure that users are trained on the authorization requirements for reversing transactions.
      • Provide documentation that outlines the process and any limits associated with reversals.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to financial transactions include F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document) and F_BKPF_AKT (Document Type).

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
