  The SAP error message DP_SHARED173 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the authorization settings for a user, specifically related to missing transaction authorizations. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access a transaction or function for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or authorizations.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
