  Solution:

  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects related to business partner creation, such as B_BUPA_GEN (General Business Partner) and B_BUPA_AUTH (Business Partner Authorization).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
