• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_MEV_GEN_BO023 - No authorization to create an accrual document in company code &1 ?

  The SAP error message CMM_MEV_GEN_BO023 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create an accrual document in a specific company code. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with accruals in the Controlling (CO) or Financial Accounting (FI) modules.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow for the creation of accrual documents.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may have access to some company codes but not to the one specified in the error message.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required permissions for the specific transaction.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that are required for creating accrual documents. Common authorization objects for financial transactions include:
  
  F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  F_BKPF_AKT (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Code)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to adjust the roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to create the accrual document again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
