  The SAP error message KM311, which states "You are not authorized to transfer data from company code &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a data transfer operation for the specified company code. This error is often encountered in the context of financial transactions, data transfers, or reporting within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to access or transfer data for the specified company code.
  Company Code Restrictions: The company code may have specific restrictions or settings that limit access to certain users.
  User Profile Configuration: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations for the operations being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations for the company code in question.
  Ensure that the roles include the relevant authorization objects, such as F_BKPF_BUP (for document posting) or F_BKPF_BUK (for company code-specific authorizations).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or if you are unsure about the necessary authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the required authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the data transfer operation again.
