  The SAP error message FAGL_MIG256 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions related to a specific company code in the context of the migration to the new General Ledger (G/L) accounting. This error typically arises during the migration process when users attempt to execute transactions or reports that require access to a particular company code for which they lack the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile for the specified company code.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the company code in question.
  Company Code Restrictions: The company code may have specific restrictions or settings that limit access to certain users.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the company code are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK, etc.) for the company code.
  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  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 making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Re-attempt the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
