• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REP_EAPS_HU_MSG012 - No authorization to display data of Cost Center '&1' in Contr. Area '&2' ?

  The SAP error message REP_EAPS_HU_MSG012 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display data for a specific Cost Center in a given Controlling Area. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data they are permitted to see.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object for accessing the specified Cost Center and Controlling Area.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Cost Center/Controlling Area Restrictions: The user may have restrictions on certain Cost Centers or Controlling Areas based on their role or organizational structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for Cost Center accounting typically include K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting) and K_CCA_CTR (Cost Center: Display). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  Check if the user has the required authorizations for the specific Cost Center and Controlling Area.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
