  The SAP error message MMPUR_UI_VIEW_MSG028 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display material master data. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and integrity.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object for accessing material master data.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to view material master data.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user does not cover the required transactions or data views.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, storage location) that the user is not authorized to access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
