  Review User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to access the decision point. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the decision point. If you find a lock that should not be there, you may need to unlock it (with caution).
