• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_BOV_SCC053 - Data will only be displayed; no authorization or data lock failed ?

  The SAP error message CM_BOV_SCC053 indicates that there is an issue with data access due to either a lack of authorization or a data lock failure. This message typically arises in scenarios where a user attempts to access or manipulate data in a way that is restricted by the system's security settings or due to concurrent access issues.
  Causes:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the data. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Data Lock: The data being accessed is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or update the same data simultaneously.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to certain data or transactions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the data or transaction.
  Use transaction code SU53 to check for authorization failures after the error occurs. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Data Lock Resolution:
  
  If the issue is due to a data lock, identify the user or process that is holding the lock. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks.
  If necessary, you can release the lock if it is safe to do so, but be cautious as this may affect other users.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check if there are any specific configuration settings that might be causing the restriction. This may involve reviewing the settings in the relevant modules or transactions.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
