  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the authorization profiles or roles in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.

  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If you identify the missing authorization object (e.g., M_MATE_MRP for MRP area), you may need to add the necessary authorizations to the user’s role.
  Use transaction code PFCG to modify the role and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  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 to ensure that the user has the correct access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
