  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the activity, process, and budget type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for grant management, such as S_GRANT, S_BUDGET, or any other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
