• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO604 - No authorization to display reports for cost center &1 ?

  The SAP error message FCO604 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display reports for a specific cost center. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization for the specific authorization object related to cost center reporting.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Cost Center Restrictions: The user may have restrictions on which cost centers they can access, either due to organizational policies or system configurations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FCO604 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization object for cost center reporting is typically K_CCACTVT (Activity in Cost Center Accounting) and K_CCSK (Cost Center). Ensure that the user has the necessary activities (like display) for the relevant cost centers.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations. This can be done by a system administrator or a user with the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user has the role but is still facing issues, you may need to modify the authorizations within the role to include the necessary permissions for the specific cost center.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
