• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F4475 - No authorization for changing line items in company code & ?

  The SAP error message F4475 ("No authorization for changing line items in company code &") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify line items in a financial document but lacks the necessary authorization for that specific company code. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are strictly enforced to maintain data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Role: The user does not have the appropriate authorization role assigned that allows them to change line items in the specified company code.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may have authorization for other company codes but not for the one specified in the error message.
  User Profile: The user profile may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or action being attempted.
  Transaction Code: The transaction code being used may require additional authorizations that the user does not possess.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check results. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should review and modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the specific company code.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document) and F_BKPF_AKT (Accounting Document Change).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the transaction again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to financial transactions in SAP, such as:
  
  F_BKPF_BES: Authorization for accounting documents.
  F_BKPF_AKT: Authorization for changing accounting documents.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check results.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
