  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/NOTIFICATION013 indicates that a user is not authorized to send notifications within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Digital Manufacturing or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) modules, where notifications are a key part of the workflow.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user attempting to send notifications. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for sending notifications.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to notifications may not be properly configured for the user.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly to allow for notification actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for sending notifications.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are missing and need to be added to the user’s roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role that the user is assigned.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or if you are unsure about which roles to assign, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help ensure that the user has the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the notification sending functionality again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
