  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current authorization roles in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.

  Review Role Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user are correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations for the planning scope.
  Check the authorization objects related to planning scope changes (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, etc.).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
