• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKINV691 - No authorization to simulate the billing for &1. ?

  The SAP error message FKKINV691 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to simulate billing 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 billing documents without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. The authorization checks are performed based on the user's assigned roles, and if the necessary permissions for simulating billing are not included, the error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Check if the roles include the necessary authorizations for billing simulation in the FI-CA module.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. The relevant authorization objects for billing simulation in FI-CA may include:
  
  F_KKINV_BIL (Authorization for Billing)
  F_KKINV_SI (Authorization for Simulating Billing)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to simulate the billing again.
