The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorizations for the action they are trying to perform (in this case, releasing payment requests). If the user does not have the necessary permissions for the specified company code, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles or add a new role that includes the required authorizations for the company code in question.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as F_BKPF_BES (for accounting document) or F_FBCO_BER (for company code).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the payment request release process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
