Portal runtime error in Purchasing in ESS

Question

Hello,
After logging in to the portal, when I go to Employee Self-Services -> Purchasing, which ever option (Shop, Confirm Goods / Services, Check Status) I click, I get a portal runtime error as shown below:
#1.5 #005056803084006B00000039000000FC0004638903CCAF24#1235340032299#com.sap.portal.portal#sap.com/irj#com.sap.portal.portal#smagan#23907##KSCEPD.esr.cri.nz_EPD_3051250#smagan#f667c1b0012b11deb880005056803084#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_29##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Java###Exception ID:11:00_23/02/09_0004_3051250

Working Time, Timesheet, Personal Information, Pay Statement works perfectly. The error happens only in the case of Purchasing. I am new to ESS, so any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Bala,
It is happening for all users. I checked the authorizations in the backend. The roles assigned to the user has the following authorizations: S_RFC, S_SERVICE, S_TCODE, S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, S_WF_WI, P_TRAVL, PLOG, P_ABAP, P_ORGIN, P_ORGINCON, P_ORGXXCON, P_PCLX, P_PERNR, P_TCODE, M_BANF_BSA, M_BANF_EKG, M_BANF_EKO, M_BANF_WRK, M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, M_BEST_EKO, M_BEST_WRK.
In portal the user is assigned the ESS and Standard portal user role.
The transaction ST22 shows the following:
    The user "TESTUSER9" has no RFC authorization for the function group                         
    "SDIFRUNTIME". Please contact your system administrator to give you                          
    the RFC authorization for the required function groups (such as "SDIFRUNTIME").              
    The RFC authorization object is S_RFC.
Thanks,
Ajay
