  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to certain functions and transactions is controlled through authorization objects. If the user attempting to create a mandate does not have the required permissions, the system will generate this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for creating mandates. This may involve checking roles related to financial transactions, payment processing, or specific mandates.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This typically requires access to transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to create the mandate again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
