  The SAP error message M8695 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific activity in a particular plant. This error typically arises in the context of materials management, production planning, or inventory management when a user attempts to execute a transaction or access data related to a plant for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specified plant or activity.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MAR, etc.) may not be assigned to the user’s profile.

  Modify User Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific plant and activity.
  Testing: After making changes, 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 issue is resolved.
