This can occur in various modules, such as Materials Management (MM) or Financial Accounting (FI), where line item details are crucial for analysis and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations to view line item details.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific authorization objects related to the transaction or report may not be properly configured for the user.

  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to line item displays.
