• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_MAINT014 - No authorization to access shadow document ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_MAINT014 No authorization to access shadow document typically indicates that a user is trying to access a shadow document in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. Shadow documents are often used in the context of financial accounting and controlling, particularly in the context of document management and data consistency.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the shadow document.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or document type.
  Document Status: The shadow document may be in a status that restricts access based on business rules or configurations.
  
  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 is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects related to shadow document access.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include F_BKPF_BES (for document access) and F_BKPF_AKT (for document types).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the shadow document is in a status that allows access. If it is locked or in a restricted state, you may need to follow up with the relevant business process owner.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
