• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION122 - User &1 is not authorized to display confirmations ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION122 User &1 is not authorized to display confirmations
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user (&1 represents the username) does not have the necessary authorization to display or access production order confirmations in SAP. Specifically, the user lacks the required authorization object(s) or authorization field values that control access to confirmation data.
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, access to production order confirmations is controlled by authorization objects such as:
  
  C_AUFK_AUS (Authorizations for order processing)
  C_AUFV_VKO (Authorizations for confirmation)
  C_AUFV_AUF (Authorizations for order confirmation)
  
  If the user does not have the appropriate activity (e.g., display, change) or the correct order type, plant, or other relevant fields assigned in their roles, the system will prevent them from displaying confirmations and raise this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s assigned roles.
  Use transaction SUIM to analyze the user’s authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Identify Missing Authorization Objects:
  
  Verify that the user has the authorization objects related to production order confirmations, especially:
  
  C_AUFV_VKO with activity '03' (Display)
  C_AUFK_AUS with appropriate activities and order types
  C_AUFV_AUF with the correct plant and order type values
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  Add or adjust the roles assigned to the user to include the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles include the correct values for order types, plants, and activities relevant to the confirmations the user needs to display.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Test the confirmation display functionality again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in environments with strict authorization controls on production order processing.
  Sometimes, the issue arises if a user has authorization to create or change confirmations but not to display them.
  If you are unsure which authorization object is missing, you can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the last failed authorization check.
  Consult your SAP security team to ensure that changes comply with your organization's security policies.
