• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3862 - No authorization to display data for company code & ?

  The SAP error message M3862, which states "No authorization to display data for company code &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view or access data related to a specific company code in the SAP system. This is a common issue in environments where strict access controls are enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles or authorizations that allow access to the specified company code.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to company code access (such as F_BKPF_BWA, F_BKPF_BKA, etc.) may not include the company code in question.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may be using a different profile that lacks the necessary permissions.
  Organizational Structure Changes: Changes in the organizational structure or company code settings may have affected the user's access rights.
  
  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 is missing.
  Alternatively, use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, a security administrator should assign the appropriate roles that include access to the required company code.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, the authorization objects may need to be modified to include the specific company code. This can be done by a security administrator using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They should then attempt to access the data again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to company codes, such as F_BKPF_BWA (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Code) and F_BKPF_BKA (Accounting Document: Authorization for Account).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on authorization management for more detailed information on how to manage user roles and authorizations effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the M3862 error and ensure that the user has the necessary access to the company code data.
