• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM175 - You are authorized to create, change and display ?

  The SAP error message AM175 typically indicates an authorization issue related to asset management. The message reads: "You are authorized to create, change and display." This error usually arises when a user attempts to perform an action in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module but lacks the necessary authorizations for that specific action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for asset management activities.
  Transaction Codes: The user might be trying to access a transaction code that is restricted based on their authorization profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for asset management.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to asset management, such as F_LFA1_AKT for vendor master data or F_AA_AKT for asset accounting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
