• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDFIES898 - You see only company codes data for which you have change authorization ?

  The SAP error message IDFIES898 indicates that the user is only able to see company code data for which they have change authorization. This is a security feature in SAP that restricts access to sensitive financial data based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Restrictions: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to view data for all company codes. This is typically due to the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may be configured to limit access to specific company codes, which is common in organizations that need to enforce data security and compliance.
  Profile Settings: The user profile may not include the necessary permissions to view all company codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for authorization failures. This will show you which specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the company codes they need to access.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct roles that provide access to the required company codes. This may involve creating a new role or modifying an existing one.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, test to ensure that the user can now access the required company code data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, access to data is controlled by authorization objects. For company code access, you may need to check authorization objects like F_BKPF_BES (for accounting documents) or F_LFA1_APL (for vendor master data).
  Security Best Practices: Always follow your organization’s security policies when modifying user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance and data protection.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations for more detailed procedures.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and modifying authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting with a technical expert.
