Bidder gets "no authorization for the action" when creating response to RFx

[Former Member]

Hello. I am working with SRM 7.0. As a bidder with

Portal Role: RFx Respondent

SRM Role: /SAPSRM/BIDDER

I was trying to create a response for an RFx by highlighting one of the eRFx in the query result list and clicking on "Create Response" button. I was given a pop up window with error "User is not authorized for the action". This happens to all eRFx in the bidder's list. I was able to properly launch the RFx by clicking on "Display Event" though. Any pointers in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks. That was a good point to start looking. However, I traced the code all the way into and out of SRM appliation without hitting any error, but then in the WD framework, the error came out of nowhere. I will try again.

This is due to an improper BADI activation (for some reason an ICC BADI was activated). After deactivating the BADI implementation, bid response worked.

Hi Jay,

We are facing the same problem. Could you please let us know what is 'ICC BADI'?

Thanks,

Sure. ICC BADIs are BADIs designed for country specific purpose. Normally, clients don't implement or activate those BADIs unless specifically required. In our case, one of those BADIs was somehow activated, but with blank implementation. That throw the process off.

Hi,

i am facing the same issue. i checked the note and in SRM 7.0 its absolutely correct. I am not able to figure out which would be the ICC Badi to deactivate. Also, what could be the other possible reasons for this error.

Kindly suggest.
