  The SAP error message AFX_GENERATION151, which indicates "No Authorization," typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action or access a resource for which they do not have the necessary permissions. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as during the execution of transactions, reports, or when accessing specific functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.

  Review Roles and Profiles:

  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user requires additional authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the relevant team to request the necessary permissions.
