• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K5100 - You are not authorized to display the data ?

  The SAP error message K5100, which states "You are not authorized to display the data," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specific data or transaction in the SAP system. This can occur in various modules, including Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to view the data in question.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to the transaction or data being accessed may not be assigned to the user.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data based on organizational units, company codes, or other criteria that the user does not have access to.
  Role Changes: If the user’s roles have been changed recently, they may have lost access to certain data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the user’s assigned roles and profiles in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the transaction or data access. This can be done using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs, which shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional access, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the relevant team to request the necessary authorizations.
  Check Organizational Data: Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct organizational units or company codes that are relevant to the data they are trying to access.
