• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FK002 - Display only, client & has no change authorization ?

  The SAP error message FK002 ("Display only, client & has no change authorization") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes in a client where they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems, especially in environments with strict authorization controls.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to make changes in the specified client. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Client Settings: The client may be set to a mode that restricts changes, such as a production client where only certain users have change permissions.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned the appropriate roles that allow for change activities in the specific transaction or area of the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, they should contact their SAP security team or administrator to request the required roles or authorizations.
  
  
  
  Verify Client Settings:
  
  Ensure that the client is not in a restricted mode. If it is a production client, changes may be limited to specific users or roles.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Development Client:
  
  If possible, test the changes in a development or quality assurance client where the user has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to understand the specific requirements for the transaction being attempted.
