  The SAP error message KI548, which states "No authorization to change cost centers in CO area," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action related to cost centers in the Controlling (CO) module but lacks the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to create, modify, or delete cost centers.
