  The SAP error message AJ621 indicates that a user is attempting to change an object (such as a cost center, internal order, or other financial objects) in a specific division and class, but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access or modify data that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to the specific object type, division, or class.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict access to certain objects based on organizational rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.

  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to add the appropriate roles to the user or modify existing roles to include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Ensure that the object you are trying to change is not locked or in a status that prevents changes. You can check the status of the object in the relevant transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to authorization checks for the specific object type, division, and class to ensure they are set up correctly.
