  Error Message
  VFRR055: You are not authorized to post data in company code &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the user attempting to post data in the specified company code does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, posting data in financial or controlling modules is controlled by authorization objects that restrict access based on company codes and other criteria.
  Specifically, the user is missing the required authorization for the company code in question. This could be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect assignment of authorization roles/profiles.
  Authorization objects related to company code posting (e.g., F_BKPF_BUK for FI documents, or K_CCA_ACT for CO postings) do not include the company code.
  The user’s role does not include the company code or the activity required to post data.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the User and Company Code:
  
  Note the user ID and the company code (&1 in the message) where the posting was attempted.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the last failed authorization check.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks during the posting attempt.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Common authorization objects related to posting in company codes include:
  
  F_BKPF_BUK (Accounting Document: Authorization for Company Codes)
  K_CCA_ACT (Cost Center Accounting: Activity)
  F_BKPF_GSB (Authorization for Business Area)
  F_BKPF_KOA (Authorization for Account Type)
  
  
  Check if the user’s roles include the relevant company code in these objects.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  If the user lacks the required company code in their roles, update the role(s) in PFCG to include the company code.
  Assign the updated role(s) to the user.
  
  
  
  Test the Posting Again:
  
  After updating authorizations, have the user try posting again to confirm the issue is resolved.
