  The SAP error message CO180 indicates that a user is trying to access a list or report in the Controlling (CO) module, but the system has determined that the user is not authorized to view the list for the specified plant. This error typically arises due to authorization issues related to user roles and permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specific list or report for the given plant.

  User Profile Settings: The user profile may not be configured correctly to allow access to the required lists or reports.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the CO module and the specific plant.
  
  
  
  Assign User to Plant:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
