• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BKN001 - Row &1 is removed from the reference due to insufficient authorization ?

  The SAP error message BKN001 indicates that a specific row (or entry) has been removed from a reference due to insufficient authorization. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, such as bank accounting or payment processing, where certain authorizations are required to access or modify specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorization: The user attempting to perform the action does not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the specified row in the database.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or data being accessed.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions in place that limit access to certain data based on user roles or organizational structure.
  
  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 is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the necessary permissions.
  Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct roles that correspond to their job functions.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue through role adjustments, consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation. They can help identify any underlying issues with the authorization setup.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the transaction again to see if the error persists.
