  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC_INB114
  
  Text: You are not authorized to read / display purchasing list &1 &2 &3
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user does not have the necessary authorization to access or display the specified purchasing list or related purchasing document. The placeholders &1, &2, &3 typically represent specific identifiers such as purchasing document number, list type, or other relevant parameters.
  In SAP, access to purchasing documents and lists is controlled by authorization objects, and if the user’s role or profile lacks the required authorizations, this error is triggered.
  
  Common Authorization Objects Involved:
  
  M_BEST_BSA – Authorization for purchasing document types
  M_BEST_EKG – Authorization for purchasing groups
  M_BEST_WRK – Authorization for purchasing organizations
  M_EINK_FRG – Authorization for release procedures in purchasing
  M_EINK_BSA – Authorization for purchasing document types (sometimes relevant)
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks when the user tries to access the purchasing list.
  
  
  
  Analyze Missing Authorizations:
  
  Identify which authorization object and field values are missing or insufficient.
  For example, the user might be missing authorization for the purchasing document type or purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Update User Roles/Profiles:
  
  Adjust the user’s roles in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  Add or extend authorizations for the relevant purchasing document types, purchasing groups, or organizations.
  Ensure that the user has at least display (read) authorization for the purchasing list or document.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Test the access to the purchasing list again to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in environments with strict authorization controls, especially where purchasing documents are sensitive.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the purchasing list is linked to a specific organizational unit that the user is not authorized for.
  If the user should not have access, this error is working as intended to protect sensitive purchasing data.
  
  
  Summary:
