  The SAP error message OQ_E366 indicates that a user is not authorized to execute a specific generation program. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Order Management or similar modules where certain actions require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to execute the generation program.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to assist in resolving the issue.
