  The SAP error message IDFI_VAT_PR091, which states "No authorization to execute in update mode," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations in the SAP system, particularly in the context of VAT (Value Added Tax) processing or related updates.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction or program in update mode. This can happen if the user role assigned does not include the required permissions for the specific action.
  Transaction Code Restrictions: Certain transaction codes may have restrictions based on user roles or profiles, preventing users from executing them in update mode.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for executing the transaction in update mode.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as those related to VAT processing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to execute the transaction again.
