• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CSP_ENTITY_CHECK021 - Create By Association not possible; no authority ?

  The SAP error message CSP_ENTITY_CHECK021: Create By Association not possible; no authority typically occurs when a user attempts to create an entity (such as a business object) through an association in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required permissions to create the entity associated with the parent object. This can happen if the user role does not include the necessary authorization objects.
  Business Logic Restrictions: There may be business rules or logic defined in the system that restricts the creation of certain entities based on the user's role or status.
  Configuration Errors: There might be misconfigurations in the system that prevent the association from being created properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for creating the entity are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the appropriate access rights.
  
  
  
  Review Business Logic:
  
  If the authorization seems correct, check if there are any business rules or logic that might be preventing the creation of the entity. This could involve reviewing the configuration of the business object or any associated workflows.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific business object or module you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or known issues that can provide further insight.
  
  
  
  Testing:
