• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO223 - Payment order &1 cannot be displayed; authorization is missing ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_PO223 Payment order &1 cannot be displayed; authorization is missing indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view the specified payment order. This is a common issue in SAP systems where access control is enforced to protect sensitive financial data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to display payment orders. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or object related to payment orders.
  User Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access to certain transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for payment order display.
  The relevant authorization objects may include F_BKPF_BES (for accounting documents) or F_BKPF_AKT (for payment orders), among others.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, the security team can modify the roles to include the required authorizations.
  After making changes, ensure that the user logs out and logs back in to refresh their authorization profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user attempt to access the payment order again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to payment processing in SAP. This can help in understanding what permissions are necessary.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and how to configure roles and profiles.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to payment orders include:
  
  F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions)
  FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display)
  FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display)
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
