This error typically arises in the context of financial reporting or planning within SAP, particularly when users attempt to personalize or access data related to cost centers.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization for the specified cost center and controlling area. This can happen if the user’s role does not include access to that particular cost center.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations for the cost center.
  Cost Center Settings: The cost center may be set up in a way that restricts access based on certain criteria, such as user groups or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the cost center and controlling area.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to cost center access (e.g., K_CCA for cost center accounting) are included in the role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to 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 relevant authorization objects such as:
