• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KI869 - You have no display authorization for the data ?

  The SAP error message KI869 ("You have no display authorization for the data") typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain data in the Controlling (CO) module without the necessary authorization. This can happen in various transactions related to cost centers, internal orders, or other CO-related reports.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to view the specific data.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data that the user is trying to access, such as company codes, cost centers, or other organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KI869 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 help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the CO module.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Common authorization objects related to CO include:
  
  K_CCACTVT (Activity in Cost Center Accounting)
  K_CCACTVT (Activity in Internal Orders)
  K_CCSK (Cost Center)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate values for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify and assign the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.

  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the KI869 error.
