• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR_POWL009 - You are not authorized to display condition data ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR_POWL009: You are not authorized to display condition data
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to display or access condition data (such as pricing conditions, discounts, surcharges, etc.) in SAP but does not have the necessary authorizations. The system checks the user's authorization objects related to condition records, and if the user lacks the required permissions, this error is triggered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Condition data in SAP (e.g., pricing conditions in SD, purchasing conditions in MM) is protected by specific authorization objects.
  The error typically arises in scenarios involving:
  
  Accessing condition records via transaction codes like VK13 (Display Pricing Conditions), MEK3 (Display Purchasing Conditions), or through POWL (Personal Object Worklist) interfaces.
  Using Fiori apps or Web Dynpro applications that display condition data.
  
  
  The authorization check fails because the user does not have the required activity or object values assigned in their role.
  
  
  Common Authorization Objects Involved:
  
  V_KONH_VKO – Authorization for condition header data (Sales and Distribution)
  V_KONP_VKO – Authorization for condition item data (Sales and Distribution)
  M_BEST_BSA – Purchasing Document Authorization (may be relevant if conditions are linked to purchasing)
  V_EINK_BEW – Authorization for Purchasing Conditions
  S_POWL_OBJ – Authorization for POWL objects (if accessed via POWL)
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Missing Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, check the system log or developer trace for authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Roles:
  
  Add the necessary authorization objects and values to the user's role/profile.
  For example, for pricing conditions, ensure the user has:
  
  Object V_KONH_VKO with appropriate activity (e.g., 03 = Display)
  Object V_KONP_VKO with appropriate activity
  
  
  For purchasing conditions, ensure V_EINK_BEW is assigned with display rights.
  
  
  
  Role Testing:
  
  After updating roles, test the user access again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  If Using POWL or Fiori Apps:
  
  Check if the user has authorization for the POWL object or the specific Fiori app.
  Assign the relevant PFCG roles or catalogs/groups.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is a standard authorization error and does not indicate a system malfunction.
  Always follow your organization's security policies when granting authorizations.
  If unsure about which authorization objects to assign, consult SAP documentation or your security team.
  For detailed SAP notes or documentation, you can search SAP Support Portal with the message number WR_POWL009.
