  The SAP error message J3POD028 indicates that a user is not authorized to change export/import contract data for a specific company code. This error typically arises in the context of managing foreign trade and compliance within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with contracts related to export and import activities.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to modify the export/import contract data for the specified company code.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or data they are trying to access.
  Company Code Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or configurations in place that limit access to certain company codes based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile to ensure that they have the necessary permissions to change export/import contract data.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to foreign trade and export/import contracts.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or BASIS team to review and adjust your authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
