• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RQ404 - You are not authorized to display amounts ?

  The SAP error message RQ404, which states "You are not authorized to display amounts," typically occurs when a user attempts to access financial data or reports for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view financial amounts. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to access specific transactions or reports.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on company codes, cost centers, or other organizational units that limit access to certain financial data.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_AKT) are included in the roles.
  If the user needs access to specific reports or transactions, ensure that the relevant authorizations are granted.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to financial data access. Common objects include:
  
  F_BKPF_BES: Authorization for document display.
  F_BKPF_AKT: Authorization for document amounts.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide guidance on authorization management.
  
  
  Training: Consider training for users on how to navigate authorization issues and understand their roles within the SAP system.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the RQ404 error message.
