  The SAP error message APPL_MM_PR005 indicates that a user is attempting to create a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a purchasing organization for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to create RFQs for the specified purchasing organization.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the purchasing organization in question.
  Purchasing Organization Settings: The purchasing organization may have specific settings that restrict access to certain users.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the purchasing organization.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Group) and M_BEST_EKO (Purchasing Document: Authorization for Purchasing Organization).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the RFQ again.
