• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7124 - Selection is incomplete due to missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message M7124, which states "Selection is incomplete due to missing authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or report but lacks the necessary authorizations to access certain data or perform specific actions within the system.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user role or profile. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow access to the required data or transactions.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data that the user can access based on their role, which can lead to incomplete selections.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report being executed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the M7124 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the transaction or report being executed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG to include the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly activated after making changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction or report again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
