  The SAP error message GG324, which states "You cannot execute the selected function," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a function that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various SAP modules and transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause is that the user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to execute the function.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
