• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK437 - No authorization for marking in company code & ?

  The SAP error message CK437 ("No authorization for marking in company code &") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform a marking operation in the Controlling (CO) module, specifically in the context of cost object controlling or product costing, and does not have the necessary authorizations for the specified company code.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform marking operations in the specified company code. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may be restricted from accessing certain company codes due to organizational policies or system configurations.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the marking transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations for marking in the specified company code.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to marking (e.g., C_KKAE_KK for cost accounting) are included in the user's roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the marking operation again.
