  The SAP error message EHSB_RC139 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to display characteristics for a specific valuation assignment type in the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or display data related to a valuation assignment type for which they lack the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing authorization objects related to EHS.

  Changes in the authorization settings or roles that have not been updated for the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
