  The SAP error message HRPAYTR02123, which states "You are not authorized to perform this activity," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific transaction or access certain data within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments, especially in modules related to Human Resources (HR) and Payroll.
  Cause:
