  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.

  The relevant authorization objects for batch management typically include:

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the plant in question.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for batch management.
  This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify and assign the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the batch maintenance functionality again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
