  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform maintenance activities for the specific business location. This may require coordination with your SAP security team to adjust roles and permissions.
  Configuration Review: If you have the necessary authorizations and are in the correct business location, review the configuration settings related to maintenance activities. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (like OIK1 for maintenance planning).
