• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SE199 - No authorization to display entry sheets for purchase order & & ?

  The SAP error message SE199, which states "No authorization to display entry sheets for purchase order & &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view the entry sheets associated with a specific purchase order. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the Materials Management (MM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to view entry sheets related to purchase orders. 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 for the transaction or object in question.
  Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that remove access to certain transactions or data can lead to this error.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on organizational levels, such as company codes or plants, which the user may not have access to.
  
  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 review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for displaying entry sheets (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKO, etc.).
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
