  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to make the price change does not have the required authorization in their user profile for the specific currency in the specified company code.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict price changes based on certain criteria, such as currency or company code.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_DATA, etc.) related to price changes.

  Consult with Security Team:

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to pricing and authorizations. Ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the user from making changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the price change again.
