• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER232 - User &1 does not have authorization to display bank data ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBFI_MASTER232 User &1 does not have authorization to display bank data
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user (&1 represents the user ID) does not have the necessary authorization to display bank master data in the SAP system. Specifically, the user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that permit viewing bank details in the Financial Accounting (FI) module or related components.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message is typically triggered when a user tries to access bank master data (e.g., via transaction codes like FI01, FI02, FI03, or through web interfaces or Fiori apps related to bank master data).
  SAP enforces strict authorization checks on sensitive financial data, including bank master data, to ensure data security and compliance.
  The missing authorization could be related to authorization objects such as:
  
  F_BKPF_BEK (Authorization for bank master data)
  F_BKPF_BEK (Bank master data authorization)
  Or other related objects depending on the SAP module and version.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the missing authorization:
  
  Check the user's roles and authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace using ST01 (Authorization Trace) for the user.
  
  
  
  Assign the required authorization:
  
  Add the necessary authorization objects and values to the user's role(s).
  Typically, the user needs authorization for:
  
  Display (activity 03) on bank master data.
  Relevant company codes or bank keys.
  
  
  Example: Add or adjust the authorization object F_BKPF_BEK with activity 03 (Display).
  
  
  
  Role maintenance:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to modify or create roles.
  Assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Retry the operation to confirm the authorization issue is resolved.

  F_BKPF_BEK (or similar depending on system version)
  
  
  Tools:
  
  SU53 - Display authorization check failure
  ST01 - Authorization trace
  PFCG - Role maintenance
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
