  The SAP error message FI_LU116 indicates that a user is attempting to access company code data for which they do not have the necessary read authorization. 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:
  
  Authorization Restrictions: The user does not have the required authorization to view data for certain company codes. This is typically due to the configuration of user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include access to the desired company codes.
  Company Code Settings: The company codes may be set up in such a way that only specific users or roles can access them.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user requires access to additional company codes, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate authorization objects, such as F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Code) and F_BKPF_BUK (Company Code).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
