  The SAP error message CGPL_VERSIONS023 indicates that a user is attempting to change a version of a planning object (such as a version in a planning table) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the specified version. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Version Locking: The version may be locked for editing by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for version management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  Modify User Roles:

  Check Version Status:
  
  Ensure that the version you are trying to change is not locked. You can check the status of the version in the relevant planning transaction or by consulting with the administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
