  The SAP error message HREIC_APPL_VP804 indicates that there was an issue during the authorization check for a specific action or transaction in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the action.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or action.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the action may have restrictions that the user does not meet.
  Profile Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile and the roles assigned to them.
  Verify if the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are relevant to the action being performed. This can often be found in the documentation or by consulting with a security administrator.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
