  The SAP error message -5104 "No structural authorization for obj. (plan vers. &, obj.type &, obj.ID &)" typically occurs in the context of SAP's authorization checks, particularly when dealing with organizational structures or planning versions in modules like SAP Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS). This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or manipulate the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required structural authorization for the specified object type and ID. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Incorrect Organizational Structure: The user may be trying to access an object that is outside their assigned organizational units or structures.
  Plan Version Issues: The specified plan version may not be accessible to the user due to authorization restrictions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for the object type and ID in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Structural Authorizations:
  
  If the user needs access to specific organizational units or objects, you may need to adjust their structural authorizations. This can be done in transaction SU21 or by using the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, etc.).
  Ensure that the user is assigned to the correct organizational units in their user profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and rectify any authorization gaps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to the specific functionalities in SAP. Common objects include S_TCODE for transaction codes and S_AUTHORITY for general authorizations.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to structural authorizations and the specific module you are working with (e.g., CO, PS).
  Transaction Codes: Useful transaction codes for authorization management include:
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SU53 - Display Authorization Check
