    The SAP error message /NFM/CA426 indicates that a user is not authorized to access a specific purchasing organization. This error typically arises in the context of procurement processes where user roles and authorizations are critical for ensuring that only authorized personnel can perform certain actions related to purchasing.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specified purchasing organization.
    2. Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include permissions for the purchasing organization in question.
    3. Organizational Structure: The purchasing organization may not be included in the user's assigned organizational units.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
      • Review the authorization objects related to purchasing, such as EINK_BEGR, EINK_KAUF, and EINK_ORG.
    2. Modify User Roles:

      • If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles using transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to the required purchasing organization.
      • If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required authorizations.
    3. Organizational Assignment:

      • Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct organizational units that include the purchasing organization. This can be checked in the user master record (transaction code SU01).
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

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.
