  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE/NC123 - You do not have change authorization -> only display ?

    The SAP error message KE/NC123 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action that requires change authorization in the Controlling (CO) module, specifically in the area of cost centers or internal orders, but the user only has display authorization. This typically occurs when a user tries to modify or create entries in a transaction where they lack the necessary permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to make changes in the specific area of the SAP system.
    2. Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
    3. Transaction Type: The user may be trying to execute a transaction that is restricted to users with change permissions.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles: Verify the user's assigned roles and authorizations. This can be done by:

      • Using transaction code SU01 to check the user profile.
      • Reviewing the roles assigned to the user and ensuring they include the necessary authorizations for the CO area.
    2. Authorization Adjustment: If the user requires change access:

      • Work with your SAP security team to adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary change authorizations.
      • Ensure that the role includes the appropriate authorization objects related to the CO module, such as K_CCACTVT (Activity in Cost Center Accounting) and K_CCACTVT (Activity in Internal Orders).
    3. Testing: After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.

    4. Documentation: Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects in SAP CO, such as:

      • K_CCACTVT: Controls activities in Cost Center Accounting.
      • K_CCACTVT: Controls activities in Internal Orders.
    • Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to CO that may require change authorization include:

      • KSB1: Cost Centers: Actual Line Items
      • KOB1: Orders: Actual Line Items
      • KP06: Cost Center Planning
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in the CO module.

    • Training: Consider providing training for users on how to navigate authorization issues and the importance of having the correct permissions for their roles.

    By addressing the authorization issue, you should be able to resolve the KE/NC123 error and allow the user to perform the necessary actions in the SAP system.
