• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT356 - User &1 has no authorization to create BOM ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT356 User &1 has no authorization to create BOM indicates that the user attempting to create a Bill of Materials (BOM) does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object for creating BOMs. In SAP, authorizations are controlled through authorization objects that define what actions a user can perform on specific data.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions to create BOMs.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary authorizations due to misconfiguration or changes in the authorization structure.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, company code) that the user does not have access to.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects for BOM creation, such as BOM (Bill of Material) related authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you can either add them to the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Common authorization objects related to BOM creation include:
  
  C_BOM_A (Authorization for BOM Management)
  C_BOM_T (Authorization for BOM Types)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the BOM creation process again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how SAP authorization management works is crucial. Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines on role and authorization management for best practices.
  Training: Consider training sessions for users and administrators on SAP security and authorization concepts to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue and allow the user to create BOMs successfully.
