  The SAP error message APJ_DT018 indicates that a user is attempting to create an object (such as a document, record, or other entity) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. The message typically includes placeholders for the user ID (&1), the object being created (&2), and the type of object (&3).
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to create the specified object type in the SAP system.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or conditions set up in the system that prevent the user from creating that type of object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for creating the object.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects related to the object type being created. This can be done by checking the documentation or consulting with your SAP security team.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the user can now create the object without encountering the error.
