• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FE787 - No authorization for the selected company codes ?

  The SAP error message FE787 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions related to the selected company codes. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific company codes they are trying to access.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes access to the required company codes.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BLA, F_BKPF_BUK) may not be properly configured or assigned to the user’s profile.
  Company Code Restrictions: The company codes may have specific restrictions that limit access based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to the required company codes.
  Review Authorizations: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the company codes.
  Authorization Objects: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user’s roles. This may involve checking the configuration in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Testing: After making changes, test the user’s access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
