  The SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_UI060 indicates that a user is attempting to change the Division of Interest (DOI) for a specific entity (identified by &1, &2, &3) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of managing ownership and interests in oil and gas or similar industries where divisions of interest are critical.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change the Division of Interest for the specified entity.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations related to DOI changes.
  Data Locking: The entity may be locked for editing by another user or process, preventing changes from being made.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to change the Division of Interest. This may involve checking the authorization objects related to DOI management.

  Common authorization objects to check include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes) and specific objects related to ownership management.
  
  
  
  Data Locking:
  
  Verify if the entity is currently being edited by another user or process. If so, wait for the other user to complete their changes or resolve any locks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing DOI changes to ensure compliance with processes and procedures.
  
  
  
  Testing:
