• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR852 - Blocked vendor data is not reported; you do not have authorization ?

  The SAP error message FR852 indicates that a user is attempting to access or report on vendor data that has been blocked, but they do not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically arises in the context of vendor management and reporting within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Blocked Vendor Data: The vendor data in question has been marked as blocked, which means it cannot be processed or reported on until the block is lifted.
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to access or report on blocked vendor data. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status: Verify if the vendor is indeed blocked. This can be done by checking the vendor master data in the SAP system.
  
  Use transaction code XK03 (Display Vendor) to check the status of the vendor.
  If the vendor is blocked and should not be, you may need to unblock it using transaction code XK02 (Change Vendor) if you have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Check the user’s roles and authorizations to ensure they have the necessary permissions to access blocked vendor data.
  This can be done by using transaction code SU53 to analyze the last authorization check after the error occurred.
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the appropriate roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team: If you are not able to resolve the authorization issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP security team to review and adjust the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Documentation and Training: Ensure that users are aware of the policies regarding blocked vendor data and the necessary authorizations required to access such data. Providing training or documentation can help prevent similar issues in the future.
