  The SAP error message ID_FI_OVF006, which states "You are not authorized to display &1 &2," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view a specific object or transaction in the SAP system. This error is common in financial modules where access control is critical for maintaining data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that grants access to the specific transaction or data.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions.
