  The SAP error message EPIC_PROC_UI005 ("You are not authorized to send this type of bank communication") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific bank communication action within the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with bank communications such as payment orders or direct debits.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary permissions to execute the bank communication process.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain types of bank communications are restricted based on user roles or profiles.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary transaction codes or authorization objects related to bank communications.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management area (transaction code SU01).
