• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP020 - No display authorization for planning in version & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP020 No display authorization for planning in version &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to display or access planning data in a particular version but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. In SAP Planning applications (such as SAP BW Planning, SAP BPC, or SAP APO), access to planning versions is controlled by authorizations. If the user’s role or profile does not include the required authorization object values for the planning version, the system prevents display or modification and issues this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message indicates that the user lacks display authorization for the specified planning version.
  The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the actual version ID when the error occurs.
  Planning versions are often protected to ensure data integrity and security, so only authorized users can view or change data in certain versions.
  
  
  Common Authorization Objects Involved:
  
  /SAPAPO/VC_AUTH (in SAP APO)
  /BIC/VERSION (in SAP BW Planning)
  Custom authorization objects depending on the system and implementation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Check if the user has the required authorization for the planning version in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  Add or update the authorization objects to include the planning version.
  For example, add the version ID to the authorization object that controls access to planning versions.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have authorization to change roles, request the security or BASIS team to grant the necessary display authorization for the planning version.
  
  
  
  Verify Planning Version:
  
  Confirm that the version exists and is active.
  Sometimes the error can occur if the version is incorrect or not maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After authorization changes, test the access again to ensure the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in environments where multiple planning versions are used for different scenarios (e.g., budget, forecast, actual).
  Proper role design and authorization maintenance are critical to avoid such errors.
  In some cases, the error might also appear if the planning version is locked or restricted due to system settings or workflow status.
