• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_ASN265 - You are not authorized to display the selected ASNs ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_ASN265 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display the selected Advanced Shipping Notifications (ASNs). 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 view.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user trying to access the ASNs. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for ASN access.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured or may have been changed recently, leading to loss of access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 and enter the user ID. Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for ASN access.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization objects are missing, you may need to modify the roles. This can be done using transaction code PFCG:
  
  Open the relevant role.
  Add the necessary authorization objects related to ASN (e.g., /SCF/ASN).
  Generate the profile after making changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  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 error message and the results from SU53 for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, try accessing the ASNs again.
