• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W-069 - No authorization to display supplier & in purchasing organization & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W-069 No authorization to display supplier & in purchasing organization &
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when a user tries to display or access supplier (vendor) master data for a specific purchasing organization but does not have the required authorization to do so.
  In SAP, access to vendor master data can be restricted by purchasing organization. The system checks if the user has the necessary authorization object values assigned to their user profile. If the user lacks the required authorization for the vendor and purchasing organization combination, this warning is triggered.
  
  Authorization Object Involved:
  
  M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document Authorization)
  M_LIFNR_BSA (Vendor Master Authorization)
  M_LIFNR (Vendor Master Authorization)
  M_BEST_EKG (Purchasing Group Authorization)
  
  Most commonly, the relevant authorization object for vendor master data is M_LIFNR.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The user is trying to display vendor master data for a vendor number (supplier) in a particular purchasing organization.
  The system checks the user's authorizations against the vendor and purchasing organization.
  If the user does not have the authorization to display vendor master data for that purchasing organization, the system issues this warning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace using transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to identify missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Update User Roles:
  
  Add or adjust the user's roles to include the necessary authorizations for the vendor and purchasing organization.
  Specifically, ensure the user has the correct values for the authorization object M_LIFNR (Vendor Master) for the vendor number and purchasing organization in question.
  The authorization field values to check include:
  
  Vendor Number (LIFNR)
  Purchasing Organization (EKORG)
  Activity (Display = 03)
  
  
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to maintain roles.
  Add the missing authorization objects or extend the existing ones with the required vendor and purchasing organization values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, test the access again to confirm the warning no longer appears.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so the system may still allow some level of access depending on the context.
  Vendor master data access is often restricted to ensure data security and compliance with company policies.
  If the user needs only display access, ensure the activity field in the authorization object is set to 03 (Display).
  If the user requires change or create access, other activities like 02 (Change) or 01 (Create) must be authorized.
