B1285 - Details

• The SAP error message B1285, which states "You are not authorized to display/edit IDoc &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view or modify the specified IDoc (Intermediate Document) in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to access IDocs through transaction codes like WE02 or WE19.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to access IDocs. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  IDoc Status: The IDoc may be in a status that requires specific permissions to view or edit.
  User Profile Configuration: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to IDoc-related transactions.
  
  
  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 authorizations in transaction code SU01
