This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with valuation results in the context of Material Ledger or other related functionalities.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions to access valuation results for the specified company codes. This can happen due to:

  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow access to the required data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Ensure that the company codes in question are included in the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify or Create Roles:
