This error typically arises in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or SAP ERP systems when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to perform the action related to the material. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that does not allow reuse, such as being locked or marked for deletion.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict the reuse of materials based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to reuse materials.
  The relevant authorization objects may include M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data) or other related objects depending on the specific action being performed.

  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust their roles or add the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Material Status Review:
