  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KT175 - You have neither display nor maintenance authorization ?

    The SAP error message KT175, which states "You have neither display nor maintenance authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a transaction or data for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, including Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI).

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to view or maintain the specific data or transaction.
    2. Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data object.
    3. Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to the transaction may not be satisfied for the user.

    Solution:

    1. 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.
    2. Review Authorizations: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error message to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
    3. Authorization Object: Identify the relevant authorization objects that are required for the transaction. Common authorization objects for CO include K_TCODE (Transaction Code) and K_AUFNR (Order Number).
    4. Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional access, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in their organization to request the necessary roles or authorizations.
    5. Testing: After changes are made, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They can then attempt to access the transaction again.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance (for role assignment and modification)
    • Authorization Management: Understanding how roles and authorizations work in SAP is crucial. It may be beneficial to review SAP documentation or training materials on authorization concepts.
    • Security Audits: Regular audits of user roles and authorizations can help prevent such issues from arising in the future.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve the SAP Basis team or a security consultant to further investigate the issue.
