  The SAP error message 1G218 &2 (&1): No authorization to display detail data for account balancing typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view detailed data related to account balancing in the SAP system. This can occur in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), where users need specific permissions to access certain data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to view the detailed data for account balancing.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report they are trying to access.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data that can be viewed based on the user's organizational assignment or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.

  F_LFA1_APP (Vendor Master: Authorization for Display)
  F_SKA1_APP (G/L Account Master: Authorization for Display)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
