• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F4159 - No authorization for displaying customer changes in company code & ?

  The SAP error message F4159, which states "No authorization for displaying customer changes in company code &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view changes made to customer master data within a specific company code.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view customer changes. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may have access to certain company codes but not to the one specified in the error message.
  Profile Configuration: The user’s profile may not be configured correctly to allow access to the transaction or report that is trying to be executed.
  
  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 and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects. The relevant authorization object for customer changes is typically F_BKPF_BWA (for accounting documents) or F_KNA1_AEN (for customer master data changes).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to access the customer changes again.
