Cause:
The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
- Missing Authorization: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specified company code.
- Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes access to the company code.
- Company Code Restrictions: The company code may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from accessing it.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
Check User Authorizations:
- Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
- Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
Review Role Assignments:
- Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to the required company code.
- If necessary, modify the user’s roles or assign additional roles that include the required authorizations.
Modify Authorization Objects:

- Ensure that the company code in question is included in the authorization object.
Consult with Security Team:
- If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
Testing:

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
