This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Direct Store Delivery (DSD) module, where users may need specific permissions to create, modify, or delete master data records.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the action does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or data object they are trying to access.

  Solution:
