• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F4158 - No authorization for displaying vendor changes in group & ?

  The SAP error message F4158, which states "No authorization for displaying vendor changes in group &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view changes made to vendor data within a specific authorization group. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the Financial Accounting (FI) and Materials Management (MM) areas.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to view changes for the specified vendor authorization group.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may lack the required authorization objects related to vendor management, such as F_BKPF_BSA (Accounting Document) or F_LFA1_APP (Vendor Master).
  Role Configuration: The user’s assigned roles may not be configured correctly to include the necessary permissions for the vendor changes.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for vendor changes. You may need to add or modify the roles to include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the authorization group in question so they can assist in granting the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After any changes are made to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for vendor management, such as:
  
  F_LFA1_APP: Vendor Master Data
  F_LFA1_BSA: Vendor Master Data (General)
  F_BKPF_BSA: Accounting Document
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
