• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/UI120 - You are not authorized to use the reversal process ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/UI120 You are not authorized to use the reversal process typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a reversal operation in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as financial transactions, inventory management, or other business processes where reversals are allowed.

  Consult with Security Team: If you are unsure about which authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide insights into the specific authorizations required for the reversal process.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) to troubleshoot authorization issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with your organization’s policies.
  Audit Logs: Check audit logs or authorization logs to see if there are any specific entries related to the failed authorization attempts, which can provide more context on what is missing.
