• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONF_BANK_RELATION002 - You are not authorized to change bank relationship data ?

  The SAP error message CONF_BANK_RELATION002 indicates that a user is not authorized to change bank relationship data. This error typically arises in the context of managing bank relationships within the SAP system, particularly in modules related to financial accounting or treasury management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user attempting to make changes to bank relationship data. This can occur due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles or authorizations in their user profile to perform the action.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to bank relationships (e.g., F_BKPF_BKA, F_BKPF_BK1, etc.) may not include the required permissions for the user.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to certain users or user groups.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include permissions for managing bank relationship data.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot access the data, check the specific authorization objects related to bank relationships. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions (e.g., create, change, display) for the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for bank relationships, such as F_BKPF_BKA (Bank Master Data) and F_BKPF_BK1 (Bank Account Management).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and bank relationship configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to bank relationships include:
  
  FI01: Create Bank Master Data
  FI02: Change Bank Master Data

  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow the user to change bank relationship data successfully.
