  The SAP error message COCM228 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view the orders for the selection criteria specified. This error typically occurs in the context of the Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with order management or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorizations to access the specific orders or data in the system. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used may not match any orders that the user is authorized to view, leading to the perception that no orders are displayed.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions in place that limit access to certain orders based on organizational units, cost centers, or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant transactions and objects related to order management in the CO module.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify the selection criteria being used. Ensure that the criteria are correct and that they align with the orders the user is supposed to access.
  If necessary, modify the selection criteria to broaden the search or to match the user's authorization scope.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If the user requires additional access, consult with the SAP security team or the person responsible for user authorizations to request the necessary permissions.
  Provide details about the specific transactions or data the user needs access to.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
