• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_MEV_GEN_UI020 - Not all accrual documents displayed; authorization is missing ?

  The SAP error message CMM_MEV_GEN_UI020 indicates that not all accrual documents are displayed due to missing authorization. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with accruals and related financial documents.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient user authorizations to view certain accrual documents. This can happen if:
  
  The user does not have the necessary roles or permissions assigned in their user profile.
  The authorization objects related to the accrual documents are not properly configured or assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to accrual documents. Common authorization objects in the CO module include:
  
  K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting)
  K_CCT (Cost Center Type)
  K_AKT (Activity Type)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, try accessing the accrual documents again to see if the issue is resolved.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization errors in your version of SAP.
