• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CP222 - Payment item &1 cannot be displayed; no authorization ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_CP222 indicates that a user is attempting to access a payment item (identified by &1) but does not have the necessary authorization to view it. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data that they are permitted to see.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile to view the specific payment item.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate role assigned that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to payment items may not be included in the user's roles.
  
  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 specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to payment items.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects for payment items (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK, etc.) and ensure they are included in the user’s roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
