  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG164 - You do not have authorization for company code & ?

    The SAP error message FG164 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or perform actions related to a specific company code. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and integrity.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorization Role: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate authorization role that includes access to the specified company code.
    2. Authorization Object: The authorization object related to company codes (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK) may not include the company code in question.
    3. User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may not be part of the necessary organizational units.
    4. Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access to the company code.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the company code.
    2. Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are required.
    3. Modify Authorizations: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the company code.
    4. Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
    5. Documentation: Ensure that any changes made to user roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors.
    • Security Policies: Review your organization’s security policies regarding user access and authorization management to ensure compliance.
