This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management or logistics processes where handling units are used to manage inventory.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that allows them to perform actions on handling units or deliveries.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on specific handling units or delivery items that prevent the user from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify that the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for handling units and delivery confirmations (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MAS, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required access.
  
  
  
  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.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
