  The SAP error message CACSMD153, which states "You are not authorized to create own contracts," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to create contracts in the SAP system. This error is common in environments where strict authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that permit contract creation.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for contract management.
  Profile Restrictions: The user profile may have restrictions that prevent contract creation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for contract creation.
  
  
  
  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. Then, attempt to create the contract again.
