• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7122 - You have no print authorization in plant & ?

  The SAP error message M7122, which states "You have no print authorization in plant &," typically occurs when a user attempts to print documents (such as purchase orders, delivery notes, etc.) for a specific plant but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP environments where access control is strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to perform print operations for the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The user may have general print authorizations but lacks specific permissions for the plant in question.
  User Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for printing in that particular plant.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects.
  The relevant authorization objects for printing in SAP typically include:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Plant)
  M_BEST_VKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Vendor)
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user is assigned to roles that include the necessary authorizations for the specific plant they are trying to print from.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the print operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and how to manage user roles.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking authorizations, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or Security team for further assistance.
