  The SAP error message MD_SUBSTN062 typically indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create a substitution in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of Material Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP) modules when users attempt to create or modify substitution entries.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the action related to creating substitutions in the relevant transaction or application.
  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 last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for creating substitutions. This may involve checking roles related to Material Management or Production Planning.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically involves working with a security administrator or someone with the necessary access to the role management tools.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: General Data)
  M_MATE_MAT (Material Master: Plant Data)
  M_MATE_MAT (Material Master: Sales Data)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity authorizations (e.g., create, change) for these objects.
  
  
  
  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.
