  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to create or modify Material BOMs.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for creating a MatBOM are not assigned to the user’s profile.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the necessary transactions or authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:

  Authorization Objects:

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to work with your SAP security team to adjust the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
