• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_TLBGUI028 - No display authorization for this selection ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_TLBGUI028 No display authorization for this selection typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to access data or perform an action for which they do not have the necessary display authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role that is trying to access the specific data or transaction in the SAP APO system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow for display access to the relevant data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the required permissions.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data that the user is allowed to view based on organizational or security policies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID experiencing the issue.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the APO transactions being accessed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects for APO include S_APO_TLB (for TLB-related transactions) and S_APO_SNP (for SNP-related transactions).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the necessary authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned and activated.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required 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.
