  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access or process all the specified account principles.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict access to certain account principles based on user roles or company codes.
  Missing or Incorrect Account Principles: The account principles specified may not be correctly defined in the system or may not exist for the user’s company code or area of responsibility.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
