• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMERP/OL_COMMON010 - No display authorization for document type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SRMERP/OL_COMMON010 No display authorization for document type &1 indicates that a user is attempting to access a document of a specific type for which they do not have the necessary display authorization. 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 see.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to view the document of the specified type. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type in question may have specific restrictions that limit access to certain user roles or groups.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain document types are restricted based on organizational policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the document type.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to add the required authorization objects to their role. Common authorization objects related to document display include S_DATA, S_USER_AUTH, or specific objects related to the document type in question.
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the specific document type to understand the authorization requirements. This may involve checking the configuration settings in the relevant module (e.g., MM, SD, FI).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access the document again.
  
  
  
  Audit and Compliance:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to user roles and authorizations comply with your organization’s security policies and audit requirements.
