F2342 - Details

• The SAP error message F2342, which states "No authorization for displaying this reference account," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a reference account (such as a customer or vendor account) for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view the reference account. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to access certain accounts or data.
  Account Type Restrictions: The account type (e.g., customer, vendor) may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from viewing it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles
