• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKBIX809 - You are not authorized to display billable items ?

  The SAP error message FKKBIX809, which states "You are not authorized to display billable items," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view certain billing-related data in the SAP system. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to access billable items. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to view billing documents or related items.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles, preventing access to specific data.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BER) are included in the roles.
  If the user needs access to specific billing items, ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in their profile.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Access:
  
  If the user requires access to billable items, they may need to formally request additional authorizations through the appropriate channels in your organization.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to billing and financial transactions. Common objects include:
  
  F_BKPF_BSA: Authorization for accounting documents
  F_BKPF_BER: Authorization for document types
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in your specific version of SAP.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user roles and authorizations to understand how to manage and assign them effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
