• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_FICA_CHECK022 - No authorization for displaying locks for process &1 ?

  The SAP error message MDG_FICA_CHECK022 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display locks for a specific process in the Master Data Governance (MDG) for Financial Accounting (FICA) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or view locked records or processes without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. The system checks the user's authorizations against the required permissions to view locks for the specified process, and if the user does not have the necessary rights, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for displaying locks.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to MDG and FICA processes, particularly those that allow for viewing locks.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_TCODE: for transaction codes.
  S_USER_AUTH: for user authorizations.
  S_MDG: for Master Data Governance specific authorizations.
  
  
  You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the correct authorizations are granted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance.
