• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8827 - No LIFO/FIFO display authorization for company code & ?

  The SAP error message M8827 "No LIFO/FIFO display authorization for company code &" typically occurs when a user attempts to access LIFO (Last In, First Out) or FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory valuation methods without having the necessary authorization for the specified company code.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile to view LIFO/FIFO inventory data for the specified company code. This can happen if:
  
  The user has not been assigned the appropriate authorization objects.
  The authorization objects related to inventory management and valuation methods are not properly configured.
  The user is trying to access data for a company code that is not included in their authorization profile.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for LIFO/FIFO display are typically M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data) and M_MATE_LIF (Material Master: LIFO/FIFO). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  Ensure that the role includes access to the specific company code in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
