  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM089: You are not authorized to post the goods receipt typically indicates that the user attempting to post a goods receipt does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in Materials Management (MM) and related areas.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to post goods receipts in the system.

  Transaction Code Restrictions: The specific transaction code being used may have restrictions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving 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).
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can adjust the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for posting goods receipts.

  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_BEST_WA, etc.) and ensure that the user has the appropriate values assigned to these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to post the goods receipt again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
