• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TXX160 - No authorization for displaying data: company code &1; group &2 ?

  The SAP error message TXX160 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display data for a specific company code and group. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object that grants access to the specified company code and group.
  Authorization Profile: The user's authorization profile does not include the necessary permissions for the company code and group in question.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Data Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions set up in the system that limit access to certain company codes or groups based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TXX160 error, 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 and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK, etc.) that control access to the company code and group.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
