  The SAP error message PVJ429, which states "You are not authorized to display price catalog &1," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified price catalog in the SAP system. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of procurement or sales.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view the price catalog. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Catalog Configuration: The price catalog may not be properly configured or may not be assigned to the user’s role.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:

  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects, such as M_BEST_BSA (Purchasing Document) or other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Check Catalog Configuration:
  
  Verify that the price catalog is correctly configured and that the user is assigned to the appropriate groups or categories that have access to the catalog.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
