  The SAP error message FAGL_VALIDATION012 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific rule of a validation strategy in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires certain authorizations that are not granted to their user profile.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations for the specified validation rule, activity, or authorization object.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  Validation Strategy Configuration: The validation strategy may be configured in such a way that it requires specific authorizations that are not part of the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to update the user's roles. This can be done by:
  
  Adding the necessary authorization objects to the user's role.
  Ensuring that the role includes the required activities for the validation strategy.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error message and the missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Validation Strategy Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration, review the validation strategy settings in transaction OB28 (for validation) or OB29 (for substitution) to ensure that the rules are set up correctly and that they align with the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
