  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or assign additional roles that include the required authorizations for the sales organization and distribution channel.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include the necessary authorization objects, such as V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Organization) and V_VBAK_VTWEG (Sales Document: Authorization for Distribution Channel).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
