This typically occurs during the duplicate check process when a user attempts to access or view a record that they do not have the necessary permissions for.
  Cause:

  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the MDG system that restrict access to certain records based on user roles or statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the duplicate records.

  Review Record Ownership:
