This error typically arises in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes, where the system is trying to create or update customer records based on incoming EDI messages.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to create or modify the sold-to party record does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Customer Master Data Settings: The sold-to party may have specific settings or restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object type related to the sold-to party.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to create or modify records for the sold-to party.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Assignments:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their role assignments or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to customer master data (e.g., F_KNA1_AKT, F_KNA1_BER, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Customer Master Data:
  
  Check if there are any specific restrictions or settings on the sold-to party that might prevent the creation of records. This can include status settings or specific configurations in the customer master data.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the user can now create records for the sold-to party without encountering the error.
