  The SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_WB_UI021 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to product maintenance in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user tries to access or modify product-related data without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user role assigned to the individual attempting to access the product maintenance functionality. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user lacks the necessary authorization objects related to product maintenance.

  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
