Missing Authorization S_DEVELOP when Creating Analytical List Page (S/4HANA public Cloud)

[diana_gonzalezcr60]

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to create a report based on the documentation I found for reporting in S/4HANA Public Cloud. I am working as a Key User in the Client 100 environment, using an SAP physical inventory standard data source.

My Steps So Far:

1. I created a Custom CDS View of the Analytical Cube type.

2. I then created a Custom Analytical Query based on that Cube.

3. When I try to proceed to Manage KPIs and Reports and select Create Analytical List Page, I immediately receive the following error:

   "Missing authorization S_DEVELOP"

The Problem:

My online research suggests that the S_DEVELOP error is typically related to development activities outside of the Fiori apps (such as creation via ADT/Eclipse). However:

• I am not using Eclipse or any external development tools; I am using the standard Key User apps within the Fiori Launchpad.

• I have been assigned all roles, including the Admin role, and development, in both environments.

• All CDS and Query are activated and published.

Additional Information:

I also tried to find the Manage KPIs and Reports app in the Client 80 environment, but it does not appear to be available there.

Does anyone know why the S_DEVELOP authorization is being requested in the Client 100 environment when creating this object purely as a Key User without using any external development tools?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hello @diana_gonzalezcr60 

Thank you for the clarification and for providing the documentation link.

The S_DEVELOP message, when opening the Analytical List Page in Manage KPIs and Reports, is a known misleading check in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. It indicates missing key-user analytics or extensibility privilege, not backend authorisation.

Please do the following:

Ensure you assign both key roles to your user:

• SAP_BR_ANALYTICS_SPECIALIST – to create and manage KPIs, reports, and ALPs.
• SAP_BR_EXTENSIBILITY_SPEC – to activate and generate the runtime artefacts.
  (Log off and back in after the assignment.)

Create the ALP from the query instead of the KPI app:

• Go to Custom Analytical Queries, select your query, create application, and activate on the Analytical List Page. This bypasses the outdated S_DEVELOP check in “Manage KPIs and Reports.”

Please confirm that you are with Client 100; content creation and activation are not supported in 080.

• Ensure your query is analytical, published, and returns data for the default parameters.

Hi @Chuma! Thank you for your response. Just to confirm, I was indeed working in the Client 100 environment. For general information, the issue was resolved by setting the access for the 'BR_FI_ALL' role to 'Unrestricted.' The SAP Support team provided this solution in my incident ticket, and after testing it, we can confirm it works. We have now successfully created the views for our reports. Here is the relevant part of SAP's response: [Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting SAP Support! This issue is because you do not have required authorization to app "Manage KPIs and Reports" I have checked that this app is only in business role "BR_FI_ALL". And the write access is currently set to "No access". Please kindly set it to "Unrestricted" and have a try again.]
