• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KN187 - List is incomplete - missing authorizations ?

  The SAP error message KN187, which states "List is incomplete - missing authorizations," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a list or report in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorizations to view all the data or perform the requested action. This can happen in various modules, including Sales and Distribution (SD) or Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary roles or authorizations to access certain data or transactions.
  Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to the transaction or report may not be assigned to the user’s role.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data that the user can view based on their role or organizational structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the relevant authorization objects that are required for the transaction or report. This can be done using transaction code SU53 (Authorization Check) immediately after the error occurs. This will show what authorizations are missing.
  Adjust Authorizations: If the user is missing necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should update the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Testing: After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access the list or report again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or internal guidelines for specific authorization requirements related to the transaction or report in question.
