  The SAP error message CHK_SU22020 indicates that there is a missing status for a variant related to an authorization object. This typically occurs when a user tries to execute a transaction or report that requires specific authorizations, but the system cannot find the necessary status for the variant being used.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The authorization object associated with the variant is not defined or is missing in the user's profile.
  Variant Issues: The variant itself may not be properly defined or may not have the necessary status assigned to it.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the variant.
  Transport Issues: If the variant was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization Profiles:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check and see which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Review the Variant:

  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify that the user is missing specific authorizations, you may need to update their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects.
