DP Error "You do not have authorization for all the characteristic values selected"

[former_member184405]

Hello Experts:

I just created a setup for product allocation. I created two CVCs and then trasferred transferred them to the product allocation group. Then I tried to go to interactive demand planning in /sapapo/sdp94 to add some allocation values in . Then I got the error that you can see in the attached document - "You do not have authorization for all the characteristic values selected". I am not able to proceed further.

I talked to the security person and they say that I have plenty of acccess. According to them, this access restriction is not coming from authorization. But the error says that I do not have sufficient authorization for all the characteristic values.

I have seen other threads on this topic. Some of them are listed below. But I could not find anything that I can implement right away.

Let me know if you have any thoughts of how I can proceed from here. Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
This is a BW authorization issue. Please refer to note 820183.

Hi Satish

So the same action and when you get the error message, go to SU53 transaction immediately and it will tell you exactly what authorization is missing. Looks like they assigned the object C_APO_LOC  but missed the activities for create or change.

Hope this helps.
