  The SAP error message FKKINV326 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to simulate invoicing for a specific object (represented by &1). This error typically occurs in the context of the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module when a user attempts to simulate an invoice but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile that allow them to perform the simulation of invoicing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into the specific authorization object that is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for simulating invoicing in the FI-CA module.

  F_SKA1_AKT (Authorization for Account Management)
  F_FICA_VK (Authorization for Document Processing)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to make the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
