• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP116 - No authorization to display selected objects ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP116 No authorization to display selected objects typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to access certain objects or data for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to view planning books, data views, or other APO-related objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile to access the specific objects or data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the APO transactions or objects they are trying to access.
  Object-Specific Authorization: Some objects may require specific authorizations that are not included in the general roles assigned to the user.
  
  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 SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the APO objects the user is trying to access. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to APO.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Common authorization objects related to APO include S_APO (for general APO authorizations) and S_TCODE (for transaction codes).
  Make sure that the user has the appropriate values set for these authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction or object you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
