  The SAP error message HCMFAB_COMMON001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display data for a specific employee number in the Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly controlled for data security and privacy reasons.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to view employee data.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to personnel administration (like P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, etc.) may not be properly configured for the user.

  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.

  Check Employee Group/Area Settings:
