  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DISPRO006 - You are not authorized to display time-dependent data ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WRF_DISPRO006You are not authorized to display time-dependent data


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user tries to display or access time-dependent data in SAP but lacks the necessary authorizations. Time-dependent data refers to data that changes over time and is valid only for certain periods (e.g., infotypes in HR, master data with validity periods).

    The system checks the user's authorization objects related to time-dependent data access, and if the user does not have the required permissions, this error is triggered.


    Typical Scenarios:

    • Accessing HR infotypes with validity periods without proper authorization.
    • Displaying master data or transactional data that is time-dependent.
    • Attempting to view or change data in personnel administration, organizational management, or other modules where time-dependent data is common.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Identify the authorization objects related to the data you are trying to access.
      • Common authorization objects involved in time-dependent data access include:
        • P_ORGIN (Organizational Management)
        • P_PERNR (Personnel Number)
        • P_PLOG (Personnel Planning)
        • P_TCODE (Transaction Codes)
        • P_ORGIN (Org. Management)
        • P_INFOTYPE (HR Infotype)
      • For time-dependent data, the authorization object often requires the user to have the correct validity period or time frame authorization.
    2. Adjust or Assign Proper Roles:

      • Use transaction PFCG to check and assign roles that include the necessary authorizations.
      • Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the correct validity periods and infotype access.
      • If custom roles are used, verify that the time-dependent authorization fields (e.g., validity dates) are correctly maintained.
    3. Check Authorization Trace:

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
      • Alternatively, use ST01 (System Trace) to trace authorization checks and identify missing authorizations.
    4. Consult with Security/Authorization Team:

      • If you do not have authorization maintenance rights, forward the SU53 trace and error details to your SAP security team for correction.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU53 – Display last authorization check failure.
      • PFCG – Role maintenance.
      • ST01 – System trace for authorization checks.
    • SAP Notes:
      • Check SAP Notes related to authorization issues for your specific module.
    • Modules Affected:
      • HR (Personnel Administration, Organizational Management)
      • Master Data Management
      • Any module with time-dependent master or transactional data.

    Summary:

    The error WRF_DISPRO006 indicates insufficient authorization to display time-dependent data. The solution involves reviewing and correcting the user's authorizations, especially those related to validity periods and infotype access, using tools like SU53 and PFCG.


    If you provide the exact transaction or module context, I can help you identify the specific authorization objects and fields to check.
