This error is common in modules related to travel management, such as SAP Travel Management (SAP TM) or SAP Concur.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to read or access the trip data.

  Data Protection: The system may be configured to restrict access to certain trip records based on criteria such as user roles, organizational units, or other security settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security or basis team to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  Provide them with the details from the SU53 transaction to help them understand the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
