  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.

  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as K_AUSW (for controlling area), K_CCA (for cost center accounting), and any other relevant 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 request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
