• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES864 - Insufficient authorization for company &2 of contract &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES864 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to access or perform actions related to a specific company associated with a contract. This error typically arises in the context of contract management or project management modules within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorization: The user attempting to access the contract does not have the necessary authorization roles or permissions assigned to their user profile for the specified company code.
  Company Code Restrictions: The contract is linked to a company code that the user is not authorized to access.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations required for the operation being performed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, you may need to assign additional roles that provide access to the company code associated with the contract.
  If the roles are already assigned, check the authorization objects within those roles to ensure they include the necessary permissions for the company code.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for company code access is typically F_BKPF_BES (for financial accounting) or F_LFA1_AKT (for vendor master data). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user's access as needed.
  
  
  
  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 issue is resolved.
