  The SAP error message CACSBAS704 indicates that the authorization profile assigned to a user does not exist in the system. This can occur for various reasons, such as changes in authorization profiles, incorrect user assignments, or issues with the transport of authorization profiles between systems.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Deletion: The authorization profile may have been deleted or renamed.
  Transport Issues: If the profile was transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request.

  System Configuration: There may be inconsistencies in the system configuration or user master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profile Existence:

  Reassign Profiles:

  Authorization Check:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for authorization issues. This can provide insights into what specific authorizations are missing.
