• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KY122 - No authorization for one of the selected fiscal years ?

  The SAP error message KY122 ("No authorization for one of the selected fiscal years") typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform actions related to a fiscal year for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Controlling (CO) or Financial Accounting (FI).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects for the fiscal year in question. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Fiscal Year Settings: The fiscal year may not be open for posting or may be restricted for certain users based on company policies.
  User Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that have not been updated or assigned correctly can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the fiscal year are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should update the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the fiscal year in question.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to fiscal year and company code are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Status:
  
  Verify that the fiscal year is open for posting. This can be checked in the configuration settings for the fiscal year in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
  If the fiscal year is closed, you may need to open it or adjust the user’s access based on business requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team to investigate further. They can provide insights into the authorization setup and any potential issues.
