• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU736 - You are not authorized to display code combinations ?

  The SAP error message GU736, which states "You are not authorized to display code combinations," typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain financial data or code combinations in the SAP system without having the necessary authorizations. This error is often related to the configuration of user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to view the specific code combinations. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or report they are trying to access.
  Object Level Security: The authorization object related to the code combinations may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to the required code combinations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for specific authorization objects related to code combinations (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BER, etc.).
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to financial transactions include F_BKPF_BES (for document types) and F_BKPF_BER (for company codes).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Display Authorization Check).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors. You can search for specific notes using the SAP Support Portal.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve your SAP security team or consult with SAP support for further assistance.
