• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKTC023 - No display authorization ?

  The SAP error message CKTC023 "No display authorization" typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain transaction codes or reports related to cost accounting or controlling (CO) without having the necessary authorization to view the data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object for the transaction or report they are trying to access. This is often related to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the controlling area or cost center.
  Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that remove previously granted authorizations can lead to this error.
  
  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 object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects (e.g., K_CCACTVT, K_CCACTVT, K_CCACTVT, etc.) that are required for the transaction or report.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to allow access to the necessary transactions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to cost accounting include CK11N (Create Cost Estimate), CK40N (Mass Change of Cost Estimates), etc.
  Authorization Management: Understanding how to manage and assign roles and authorizations in SAP is crucial for preventing such errors.
  SAP Security Team: Collaborate with your SAP security or basis team for assistance in resolving authorization issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or deeper analysis of the authorization setup in your system.
