Symptom
You have restricted write access to territories using “99 - Define Specific Restrictions” and cannot create new sub territories.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
-
Go to the Sales work center.
-
Go to the Territories view.
-
Click on New > New Sub Territory.
-
Enter the mandatory information.
-
The RBAM authorization message appears and the save fails.
Cause
Restriction Rule “99 - Define Specific Restrictions” does not work to create territories and sub territories with write access restriction. The user is only allowed to edit the territories he is assigned.

Feasible workaround in case you want to create new territories during the usual course of business, you could have a user with unlimited territory authority to create new territories.
After creating a new territory or sub territory the user with unlimited territory would need to go into the business role and grant the appropriate authorization for the new territory or sub territory for the user which should have access to this role. After updating the role, the user would have access to the territory.
