This can happen in various SAP modules, including Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), and others.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to modify the specific data or document.

  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict changes based on user roles or document types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization roles using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned to perform the required actions.

  Use Transaction Codes:

  Testing in a Different Environment:
