  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization for the specific authorization object related to material master data.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to view the material.
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that restricts access (e.g., blocked or inactive).
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have access to the organizational levels associated with the material.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
