• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKCC020 - You are not authorized to change the costing run - display only ?

  The SAP error message CKCC020, which states "You are not authorized to change the costing run - display only," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a costing run in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is related to the authorization checks in SAP, which are designed to ensure that users can only perform actions for which they have been granted permission.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the costing run. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Display-Only Mode: The system is set to allow only display access for the user, which means they can view the costing run but cannot make any changes.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may restrict certain users from modifying costing runs based on their roles or the status of the costing run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the costing run.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should update the user's roles to include the required authorization objects, such as C_KK_CHA (Costing: Change Authorization).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Run Status:
  
  Ensure that the costing run is not in a status that restricts changes. Some costing runs may be locked or finalized, preventing any modifications.
  
  
  
  Training and Documentation:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the appropriate processes and understand the authorization model in SAP to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to costing and controlling in SAP.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CK11N - Create Cost Estimate
  CK40N - Costing Run
  SU53 - Display Authorization Check
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to authorization errors in costing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CKCC020 error and gain the necessary access to modify the costing run.
