• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI087 - No authorization for chart of commitment items &1 activity &2 ?

  The SAP error message FI087 ("No authorization for chart of commitment items &1 activity &2") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to commitment items in the Financial Accounting (FI) module but lacks the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the authorization checks for commitment items, which are used in budget control and financial planning.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization for the specified chart of commitment items and the activity they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object: The authorization check is based on specific authorization objects related to commitment items, such as F_SKA1_AKT (for activity authorization) or F_SKA1_KT (for commitment item authorization).

  Check User Roles: Review the user's assigned roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Modify Authorizations: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific chart of commitment items and activities.
  Authorization Object: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user's role. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to add the necessary authorizations.
