  The SAP error message CK436 "No authorization for release in company code &" typically occurs when a user attempts to release a cost estimate or perform a similar action in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorizations for the specified company code.

  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
