• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FH070 - No authorization for posting to account & ?

  The SAP error message FH070 ("No authorization for posting to account &") typically occurs when a user attempts to post a transaction to a specific account for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), and is related to the authorization objects defined in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to post to the specified account.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BKA) may not be assigned to the user's role.
  Account Restrictions: The account may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from posting to it.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for posting to the account in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This typically requires the involvement of a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access rights.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the account involved.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for financial postings, such as:
  
  F_BKPF_BSA: Authorization for posting to accounts.
  F_BKPF_BKA: Authorization for posting to specific account types.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the FH070 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
