• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GU849 - You do not have authorization to display cycle & in tab. & ?

  The SAP error message GU849 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific cycle in a particular tab. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cycles in cost planning or internal orders.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view the cycle. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the cycle or the tab may restrict access based on user roles or profiles.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The cycle may be restricted to certain users or groups, and the current user does not belong to those groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what 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 required authorization is missing, you may need to add the necessary authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to cycles include:
  
  K_CYC (Cycle Authorization)
  K_TCODE (Transaction Code Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate access to the specific cycle and tab in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
