• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO601 - No authorization to display failure cost documents ?

  The SAP error message FCO601, which states "No authorization to display failure cost documents," typically occurs when a user attempts to access failure cost documents without having the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the authorization objects that control access to specific functionalities within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorization objects for displaying failure cost documents, and if the user does not have the necessary permissions, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the FCO601 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for accessing failure cost documents.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  The relevant authorization objects for failure cost documents typically include:
  
  F_SKA1_AKT (for activity authorization)
  F_FCO1_AKT (for failure cost documents)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., display) permissions for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you analyze and adjust the authorizations accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Understanding the specific authorization objects related to the functionality you are trying to access is crucial. You can find more information about these objects in the SAP documentation or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of authorizations and how to request access when needed.
