3636524 - Error "You are not authorized to use transaction FW18" in app Manage Security Classes - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Error "You are not authorized to use transaction FW18" pops up when trying to use the transaction "Display Security Prices" in app Manage Security Classes.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access the transaction "Display Security Prices" (FW18) in app Manage Security Classes under the tab "Exchanges".
  2. Observe the authorization error message 00172: "You are not authorized to use transaction FW18".

Cause

  • Authorizations for FW17 and FW18 are embedded in the business catalog SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_SEC_MAS_PC (TRM - Securities - Maintain Master Data), not the SAP_FIN_BC_MKTD_FXR_OVP_PCTRM (Market Data - FX Overview).
  • The business catalog SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_SEC_MAS_PC was not assigned to the business role BR_TREASURY_SPECIALIST_FOE (Treasury Specialist - Front Office).

Resolution

  1. Add the business catalog SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_SEC_MAS_PC to the business role BR_TREASURY_SPECIALIST_FOE.
  2. Or use the Business Role Template SAP_BR_TREASURY_SPECIALIST_BOE (Treasury Specialist - Back Office), which contains SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_SEC_MAS_PC by default.
  3. Ensure that the business catalogs SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_SEC_MASD_PC and SAP_FIN_BC_TRM_VAL_PC are assigned to the relevant business roles to access the app Manage Security Classes.
