  The SAP error message MPE_EXEC_COMMON013 indicates that a user is not authorized to put orders on hold in a specific plant. This error typically arises in the context of production or order management processes within SAP, particularly when trying to manage production orders or maintenance orders.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user attempting to put orders on hold. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have the necessary roles assigned that grant permission to perform the action in the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Authorizations: The user may have general authorization but lacks specific authorization for the plant in question.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow for the required actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the specific plant.
  Ensure that the roles include permissions for the transaction codes related to putting orders on hold.
  
  
  
  Plant-Specific Authorization:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific plant. This may involve checking the authorization objects related to plant-specific activities (e.g., C_ORDR_A for order management).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to put the order on hold again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects that control access to order management functions, such as C_ORDR_A (Order Management) and C_MAINT_ORD (Maintenance Order).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, specific patches or updates may address authorization issues.
