  The SAP error message FPB_LAUNCHPAD_CUST047 indicates that there is a restriction on the combination of a role and an instance in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This typically occurs when a user tries to access a tile or application for which they do not have the necessary authorizations or when the configuration of the role does not allow access to that specific instance.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their role for the specific instance of the application.
  Role Configuration: The role assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow access to the specific instance of the application.
  Instance Restrictions: The instance of the application may have restrictions that prevent certain roles from accessing it.
  Missing or Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct role assigned that includes access to the required application.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to the user management area in SAP and verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate role that includes access to the required application.

  Adjust Instance Settings:
  
  If applicable, review the instance settings for the application in the Fiori Launchpad configuration.

  Authorization Checks:
