• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE036 - You have no authorization to display (some) prices ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSAM_SHMAE036 – "You have no authorization to display (some) prices"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user does not have the necessary authorization to view certain price information in SAP. Price display is controlled by specific authorization objects, and if the user’s role or profile lacks these authorizations, SAP restricts access to price data, resulting in this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP controls access to sensitive data such as pricing through authorization objects.
  The error typically appears in scenarios involving sales documents, pricing conditions, or material master data where price visibility is restricted.
  The user’s assigned roles do not include the required authorization to display prices, either partially or fully.
  
  
  Common Authorization Objects Involved:
  
  V_KONV_VKO – Authorization for conditions (pricing)
  V_KONV_KOA – Authorization for condition types
  V_VBAK_VKO – Authorization for sales document header data
  V_VBAP_VKO – Authorization for sales document item data
  V_T685A_VKO – Authorization for pricing procedures
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Analyze Required Authorizations:
  
  Identify which authorization object and field values are required to display the prices.
  For pricing, ensure the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant condition types, sales organizations, distribution channels, and sales document types.
  
  
  
  Update User Roles:
  
  Adjust the user’s roles in PFCG to include the missing authorizations.
  Add or extend roles to include the necessary authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After updating roles, have the user log off and log back in.
  Verify that the user can now view the prices without the error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Sometimes, price display restrictions are intentional for business reasons (e.g., confidentiality).
  If price display should be restricted for certain users, ensure roles are designed accordingly.
  If the error occurs only for some prices, it may be due to condition records or pricing procedures assigned to different sales areas or customer groups.
  Consult with your SAP Security or Basis team for role adjustments.
  Documentation on SAP authorization objects related to pricing can be found in SAP Help Portal or SAP Notes.
