  The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI201 indicates that a user is attempting to modify the planned quantity for a specific allocation but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to modify the planned quantity for the specified allocation.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or function they are trying to execute.
  Object Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the specific allocation or material that the user is trying to modify.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check 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 to include the required authorization objects. This typically involves working with a security administrator or SAP Basis team.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for the relevant transaction codes and objects related to allocation modifications.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or your organization's internal documentation regarding user roles and authorizations to understand the specific requirements for modifying planned quantities.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
