  The SAP error message MB044: No authorization to retrieve via classification attributes typically occurs when a user attempts to access or retrieve data related to classification attributes in the Material Management (MM) module, but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the classification data.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for classification.

  Check User Authorizations:
