• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG061 - You do not have authorization to display field movements ?

  The SAP error message GG061, which states "You do not have authorization to display field movements," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to access certain data related to field movements in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of the General Ledger (G/L) accounting or Asset Accounting modules.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view field movements. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report they are trying to access.
  Field Movement Settings: The configuration settings for field movements may restrict access based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles in PFCG to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to field movements include:
  
  F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document: Authorization for Document Type)
  F_BKPF_AKT (Accounting Document: Authorization for Activity)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions to view field movements.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access the field movements again.
