  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization profile in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for maintaining additional information for travelers.
