• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KI586 - No authorization to display secondary cost elements in CO area & ?

  The SAP error message KI586 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display secondary cost elements in a specific controlling (CO) area. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or view secondary cost elements without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to various functionalities and data is controlled through authorization objects. If the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific controlling area or for secondary cost elements, the system will generate this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the KI586 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects related to controlling (CO) and secondary cost elements.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  The relevant authorization objects for controlling might include:
  
  K_CCA_CTP (Cost Center Accounting: Authorization for Cost Elements)
  K_CCA_CEA (Cost Center Accounting: Authorization for Secondary Cost Elements)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you adjust the roles or provide the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
