  The SAP error message MMPUR_RPO_MESSAGES058 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create or change Purchase Orders (POs) with a specific document type. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure compliance and security.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user lacks the required authorization object for the specific document type of the Purchase Order.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions to create or change POs.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type specified in the error message may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from creating or modifying it.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have the necessary authorizations at the organizational level (e.g., company code, purchasing organization).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
