• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX778 - You do not have authorization to display consumption items ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX778, which states "You do not have authorization to display consumption items," typically indicates that the user attempting to access certain consumption items in the SAP system lacks the necessary authorization. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) when dealing with consumption-related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to view consumption items. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report they are trying to access.
  Profile Restrictions: The user’s profile may have restrictions that prevent access to certain data or transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects related to consumption items are included in the roles.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  F_BKPF_BSA (Accounting Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  F_BKPF_BER (Authorization for Document Type)
  F_KKBL_BSA (Authorization for Consumption Items)
  
  
  If the user needs access to specific transactions, ensure that the relevant transaction codes are included in their roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  If the problem persists, further investigation may be needed to identify any additional missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors. You can search for relevant notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to request additional authorizations if they encounter similar issues in the future.
  Security Audits: Regularly conduct security audits to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels and that there are no unnecessary authorizations granted.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further assistance.
