  The SAP error message PFM_12FI_AP071 indicates that an authorization request has been temporarily blocked by a Centralized Role Repository (CRR). This typically occurs in environments where role management and authorization checks are centralized, and it can happen for various reasons, such as:
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Lock: The user may have exceeded the allowed number of failed authorization attempts, leading to a temporary lock.
  Role Conflicts: There may be conflicting roles assigned to the user that prevent the authorization from being granted.
  System Configuration: The CRR may be configured to block certain authorizations based on specific criteria or conditions.
  User Session Issues: Sometimes, issues with the user session or the way the user is authenticated can lead to temporary blocks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: Since the message indicates a temporary block, waiting for a specified period (usually a few minutes) and then trying again may resolve the issue.
  Check User Authorizations: Review the user’s roles and authorizations to ensure they are correctly assigned and do not conflict with each other.
  Contact Security Administrator: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact your SAP security administrator or the team responsible for managing roles and authorizations. They can check the CRR settings and see if there are any specific blocks or configurations affecting the user.
  Review Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or information that could provide insight into why the authorization was blocked.
  Reset Authorization: If the user is locked out due to failed attempts, the security team may need to reset the user’s authorization status.
