• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AU074 - No authorization for company code & ?

  The SAP error message AU074 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization for a specific company code. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action (such as posting a document) in a company code for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specified company code.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include access to the company code.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to company codes (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK) may not be properly configured for the user.
  Profile Changes: Changes in user profiles or roles that have not been updated or assigned correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the company code in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the company code.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, 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 error has been resolved.
