• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CATSXT100 - Display incomplete due to missing authorizations ?

  The SAP error message CATSXT100: Display incomplete due to missing authorizations typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain functionalities or data within the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to view or edit time entries, or when accessing reports related to time management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role assigned to the individual trying to access the CATS functionalities. This can be due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific CATS transactions or data views.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required CATS functionalities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CATSXT100 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the authorization objects that are relevant to CATS, such as CATS_AU, CATS_TA, and others related to time management.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for CATS. This can be done through transaction code PFCG.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or request the necessary changes from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the roles are correct but still missing authorizations, you may need to modify the authorization profiles to include the necessary objects.
  Work with your SAP security administrator to update the roles and profiles as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
