• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KU226 - No authorization for cost object summarization in controlling area &1 ?

  The SAP error message KU226 "No authorization for cost object summarization in controlling area &1" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to cost object summarization in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access or perform operations related to cost object summarization in the specified controlling area. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for cost object summarization.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to controlling area access (e.g., K_CCACTVT, K_CCACTVT) may not be properly configured for the user.
  Controlling Area Settings: The controlling area may have specific settings that restrict access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for cost object summarization.
  Common authorization objects to check include:
  
  K_CCACTVT (Controlling Area Activity)
  K_CCACTVT (Cost Center Activity)
  K_COKP (Cost Object)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the roles are correct but the authorizations are insufficient, you may need to modify the authorization profiles to include the necessary permissions for the controlling area in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
