  The SAP error message MQ890 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific object (denoted by &1) in a particular company code (denoted by &2). This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, reporting, or when accessing certain data within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object that grants access to the specified company code or object.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may have access to other company codes but not to the one specified in the error message.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MQ890 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the company code and object in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects related to company codes include F_BKPF_BES (Accounting Document) and F_LFA1_APL (Vendor Master).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role and assign it to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
